Mobile-First is Not Enough

In 2026, users expect apps to work instantly, regardless of their network status. Infinite spinners are a churn driver. The 'Offline-First' architecture treats the local database as the primary source of truth, syncing with the cloud only when connectivity permits.

Local-First Data Sync

We leverage engines like SQLite or Realm for robust on-device storage. When the user performs an action (like liking a post), we optimistically update the UI immediately and queue the network request. If the network fails, the action is retried later transparently.

Conflict Resolution

The hardest part of offline-first is data conflicts. What if two devices edit the same record offline? We implemented Conflict-free Replicated Data Types (CRDTs) to handle these merges automatically in most cases, ensuring data consistency without user intervention.
