Accidental Community: How a Static Web Page Sparked the Local-First Movement

A former Facebook engineer, while sailing the world, developed TinyBase, a local-first data store. He then created a simple static website, localfirstweb.dev, to curate and promote the concept. Unexpectedly, the site went viral, attracting developers and leading to a thriving Discord community built by Yonatan, a Harvard Business School graduate. This showcases how a seemingly small action can create a powerful ripple effect, highlighting the potential of the local-first software development movement.
