Wrote a new post exploring three ideas I keep coming back to: local-first software, user-controlled personalization, and decentralization as a way to avoid single points of failure.
The short version:
→ Your data should live on your device first, not on someone else's server
→ Personalization should mean you owning your identity, not an algorithm profiling you
→ Decentralization isn't about hype — it's the same principle behind email and P2P networks
I tried to keep it grounded and skip the buzzwords. If you're building in this space or just thinking about where software is heading, I'd appreciate your thoughts.
