It'd be nice if the post went into how conflict resolution will (?) work because that's the hard part here and the main selling point imo.

I think this point confuses me the most in this regard:

> Local-first architectures allow for fast and responsive applications that are resilient to network failures

So are we talking about apps that can work for days and weeks offline and then sync a lot of data at once, or are we talking about apps that can survive a few seconds glitch in network connectivity? I think that what is promised is the former, but what will make sense in practice is the latter.

Local-first is overkill for transient faults. This is probably meant for outage and disaster scenarios.
