Ask HN: Is offline-first viable or do "free and cloud bundle" win?
1•rupinderdev•1h ago
I'm curious about whether offline-first is commercially viable today or whether it gets undercut by "fee + cloud-first" products.

It depends on who your customer base is and how much you hate them.

For offline-first the money isn't on the software, it is on the hardware and maintenance. So it isn't something that VC or other wild speculators would enjoy.
You'll make a living, maybe build a team and that is likely as far as it can go.
