These principles name the opposite of the oppressive design elements being used against us, but like other cyberlibertarian frameworks, they stop short of the root cause: politics. Liberation depends on shifting political power, because power determines which values take hold.

Building user interactivity on your website without a backend.
AT Proto lets you build social features without running any backend. The user authenticates, you write a record to their repo, Constellation indexes it, and anyone can query those backlinks. The data lives with the users. Your website is just a view.

Dearly lacking discourse in local-first... the prerequisites for "data ownership" is it must be freely addressable (e.g. via the file system) and one must be able to adversarially do things with it (e.g. open/ubiquitous formats).

this looks very cool, i mean that genuinely, but tbh i bristle a bit seeing "local-first" used as a straw man here. of course if your server is the source of truth you can eliminate a lot of local-first complexity โ the entire point of that complexity is to avoid a server-authoritative architecture!
