I have idly wondered if it would be possible to make offline-capable phoenix apps using a bundled runtime (something like [GitHub - elixir-desktop/desktop: Building Local-First apps for Windows, MacOS, Linux, iOS and Android using Phoenix LiveView & Elixir! · GitHub](https://github.com/elixir-desktop/desktop)) along with a CRDT or on-client replication (eg using [https://litestream.io/](https://litestream.io/) or even postgres with a wireguard tunnel to [fly.io](http://fly.io)). “Idly” here meaning a lot of hand-waving as it’s all a bit out of my competence range. What brings this to mind is that I’m increasingly of the view that political and physical (climate) instabilities are going to make connectivity less reliable over the coming decades. Admittedly my personal experience of climate change (flooding and bush fires) is influencing me. My nearest town has been wiped out twice already this year, and I’ve been entirely cut off from all communications (including physical, with roads and bridges destroyed) for weeks at a time. Electricity and internet are now essentially intermittent utilities here, and I’ve had to abandon some online-only software I hitherto considered essential. And this is in a rich and very politically stable nation, so I think it bodes poorly for permanently-connected software in much of the world. --- _[View the full topic](https://forum.elixirforum.com/t/using-liveview-for-multi-user-collaborative-app-development/47467)._
