Restore data ownership

Effect-like code without Effect

Effect is a vast ecosystem that embraces proven patterns like structured concurrency, tracing, resource safety, and dependency injection. But if you don’t want to—or can’t—use the full Effect, you can still write Effect-like code (to some extent). This post explores how to apply some of its core ideas using simple, focused TypeScript utilities, without committing to the full framework.

Scaling local-first software

Building local-first apps is already a challenge, and making them scalable is an even greater one. It's not just about keeping data local; scalability touches multiple dimensions—from data volume and user count, to varying authentication models, growing code complexity, developer experience, and support for diverse use cases.

Why the world needs local-first apps

Discover why local-first apps are the future of software development. This post explores the limitations of traditional client-server architecture, the benefits of local-first principles like data ownership and privacy, and how Evolu empowers developers to build resilient, user-centric apps with ease.
