great post! Very helpful framing for both local-first folks & people in the broader engineering world more interested in specific benefits e.g. just a better real-time stack or the idea of loading more data into the client appeals to them but can't or don't want to go all in on a more vertically integrated tool.

@KyleAMathews ta, will incorporate when looping back to this 🙏

Next.js ran/runs a very effective incremental adoption strategy. Their og blog post is pretty good here

This is really great. Initially I thought the code samples were tool long, but I think it works well, there is a lot of very good content in there!

Thanks, yup, I’m conscious it is pretty long and could skip a few of the code samples.

My thinking behind having it as is is (a) it’s skippable, so you can get the point without reading all of it (b) it’s a blog post not a guide so reading it is optional and (c) if you are interested, may as well actually include the payload.

I was curious what the feedback would be on review!
