It's amazing to me how we called "box-product" now has a fancy new name "local-first". "Box product" is quite well understood. It has a lot of benefits, but also the business model is harder to get right comparing to cloud services. For opensource projects, that will not be a problem tho.

Lot of young people don't know what a box product is. You're showing your age.

Way to miss the point. They said box product is well understood but it isn't these days.
