A tale of two webs
summary
Web shifts from cloud‑first to local‑first: socket Supply packages web apps into native runtimes, injects a full filesystem API plus native networking and Bluetooth so apps install and start instantly, preserves user data locally and syncs via peer-to-peer relay protocol that handles NAT traversal without STUN/TURN and uses CRDTs for asynchronous sync, yielding reported 500 million daily users reach and roughly 75% cloud cost reduction for many adopters.
