Syntax - Tasty Web Development Treats

924: Sync Engines and Local Data

Listen Later

Wes and Scott talk about local-first sync engines—why they matter, what makes apps feel fast, and which platforms stand out. From LiveStore to Convex to Instant DB, they break down the pros and cons of each and debate what the “next React” might look like in a local-first future.
