1 小时 33 分钟Our friends Johannes Schlickling & James Long join us to discuss the movement of local-first, its pros and cons, the tradeoffs, and the path to the warming waters of mostly local apps.
Welcome to Changelog and Friends, our weekly talk show about mostly local.
A big thank you to our friends and partners over at fly IO, the home of changelog.com and the Cloud for developers who ship.
That's you, that's us.
Check them out at Fly IO.
Okay, let's local first.
What's up, friends?
I'm here with Kurt Mackey, co founder and CEO of Fly.
As you know, we love Fly.
That is the home of changelog.com But Kurt, I want to know how you explain Fly to developers.
Do you tell them a story first?
How do you do it?
I kind of change how I explain it based on almost like the generation of developer I'm talking to.
So like, for me, I built and shipped apps on Heroku which if you never used Heroku, is roughly like building and shipping an app on Vercel today.
It's just, it's 2024 instead of 2008 or whatever.
And what frustrated me about doing that was I didn't.
I got stuck.
You can build and ship a Rails app with a postgres on Heroku the same way you can build and ship a next JS app on Vercel.
But as soon as you want to do something interesting, like as soon as you want to.
At the time, I think one of the things I ran into is like I wanted to add what used to be like kind of the basis for elasticsearch.
I want to do full text search in my applications.
