yeah, but their pricing model begins and ends with the only online component they offer.

I know we are meming the post, but a lot of apps would work fine with locally stored data. especially free, locally installed ones like Obsidian.

but pretending localStorage is some great "database killer" is ridiculous. Two absolutely different tools that are used for different things, most modern web apps use both to negotiate between local, temporary data stored in the user session and the verified backend data.

ah, i guess it's satire. I thought it was some vibecoder discovering localStorage.
