+ + An abstract design split into four quadrants. The top-left quadrant features a stylized letter 'D' composed of black dots of varying sizes against a yellow background, with the word 'Web' in a black rectangular box at the bottom-right corner of the letter. The top-right quadrant has the text 'YVR' repeated three times vertically in gray against a blue-gray background. The bottom-left quadrant displays the word 'SPACE' in gray serif font with a large, transparent 'Z' overlapping the letters, set against the same blue-gray background. The bottom-right quadrant shows a geometric black symbol resembling interconnected nodes or a flower, also on a yellow background. +

+ +## What is LoFi software? + +Local-first software represents an alternative approach to app development focusing on: + +- Giving users ownership and control of their data +- Enabling offline functionality and improved performance +- Enhancing privacy and security +- Reducing reliance on the cloud + +This approach aligns with Hypha's mission of empowering communities through accessible and sustainable technology solutions. To learn more about local-first read [the foundational essay from the Ink & Switch research lab](https://www.inkandswitch.com/local-first/?ref=dwebyvr.org). + +## Hypha and local-First + +As a supporter of this event, Hypha continues its commitment to supporting decentralized web technologies and community-driven innovation in developing new technology that prioritizes user agency. Local-first is just one of the tools that Hypha has promoted since the movement began. Hypha worker-owner Mauve Signweaver gave a talk at Causal Islands 2023: [Holistic Local First Software On The P2P Web](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=exMYxhh5t24&list=PLDiFPpmwGrtb-Dik-jZLyA9_NIEeRnPcZ&index=4) ([Slides](https://blog.mauve.moe/slides/holistic-local-first/#1)) + +

+ +Mauve also gave [a talk on p2p protocols](https://youtu.be/gHrul4jEHvs?si=gKgj0QOr8Bvkl8vn) a few years back that is still highly relevant. + +
