**depatchedmode.eth**: Local-first is under appreciated by onchain folks. Most stuff should never hit a blockchain, and should be local-first.

**misha**: Yes, totally agree. 

In a way what is ironic is that if you run a node you have a local copy of the blockchain and all that is onchain locally.

**guiltygyoza.eth**: https://paper.topology.gg/ we are working on topology protocol which exercises the local first software principles. would love to talk to anyone believing in this vision

**ramonmarc.eth**: is there already a channel for people excited about this would love to keep daydreaming about this. (author of this piece)

**guiltygyoza.eth**: our frens group https://t.me/topologyfrens + discord for topology protocol 

local first software discord, but the circle has a lot less appreciation of both the blockchain ideal and its approach (expensive byzantine consensus etc)

**misha**: Topology protocol looks very interesting, going to dive in. Thanks for sharing. 

**guiltygyoza.eth**: No problem! Would love to know your thoughts!
