Keynote: Feeling the Local-First Elephant: A Roadmap, Hidden Gems, and New Puzzles...
summary
A roadmap lays out a stack from identity and PKI up through portable compute and WASM, with working pieces like selective sync, an unstructured CRDT-backed store (Automerge-style) and a certificate capability model for delegated access aka crypt trees that survives offline revocation; prototypes expose debugging tools and a distributed compute prototype that measures fuel/use for cost-aware scheduling and explores verifiable computation (ZK proofs) for shared indices. Practical problems left: incremental indexing, resource management, encryption key rotation, and sustainable business models.
