Start with offline - an amazing 13-year journey: Philip Lam (Local-First Conf)

Speaker: Philip Lam, Goodnotes
Goodnotes started as offline-first iPad app back in 2011. Local-first principles have served us well as a top-10 app on the App Store with over 30 million monthly active users. In this talk I'll share the technical and business journey, how local-first benefits us and our users, and some challenges we've faced.
