Shownotes
In this episode, Anna Rose (x.com/AnnaRRose) and Nico Mohnblatt (x.com/nico_mnbl) speak with Goblin Oats (x.com/goblinoats) from Tonk (tonk.xyz) and x.com/grjte from Bain Capital Crypto (baincapitalcrypto.com) to explore the emerging world of local-first architecture.
Goblin shares the evolution of Tonk from an experimental lab working on blockchain games to a product that enables anyone to build personalised local-first software using natural language. grjte discusses her Groundmist project exploring personal data lakes and the intersection between local-first systems and the AT Protocol. The conversation explores the technical foundations of local-first software, including Conflict-free Replicated Data Types (CRDTs), parallels with blockchain systems, and how ZK proofs show up within cloud-optional architecture.
