Offline first is a majors selection criteria for me. First, it's just faster. Offline apps are an order of magnitude faster and the speed is stable. Secondly, data is way easier to backup. I don't trust any provider with important data. Your account can be banned, or you could be locked out. There are outage, data corruption, human errors from people you share data with... Then there is the no internet part. Internet at home can go off for many reasons, you may be abroad, in a plane, in a tunnel, in the country side. Or internet could be slow, unreliable, behind an agressive proxy, etc. That's why i use thunderbird and not a web mail, dynalist and not the competition, mp3 and not spotify... That's why i keep osmand next to waze and torrents next to netflix. Last week internet went down in accounting. They took the day off, because they used office 365. Great for them, not so much for the work to be done. |
