Point: Local-First Productivity Toolkit

Project Overview

Point is a privacy-focused, local-first software application designed to provide powerful productivity tools with a strong emphasis on data security and offline functionality. Built with modern web technologies, the application offers a seamless, performant experience across multiple domains.

Technology Stack

• Frontend: Svelte 5
• UI Library: shadcn-svelte
• Data Storage: Pglite
• Build Tool: Vite

Philosophy

1. Local-First Architecture

• PgLite Integration: Secure, performant local data storage
• Offline Functionality: Full application usability without internet connection
• Data Privacy: User data remains entirely on the local device

2. Small Tools

• Morse Code Translator: Encode and decode Morse code
• Todo Management: Structured task tracking with advanced filtering
• Trip Planning: Interactive mapping and annotation tools

Local-first software is an approach that prioritizes storing data on users' local devices, enhancing privacy, security, and offline accessibility. This model ensures users maintain control over their data while still enabling seamless collaboration and synchronization across multiple devices. For a comprehensive exploration of this concept, you can refer to the article "Local-first software: You own your data, in spite of the cloud" by Ink & Switch.
