> Offline-First is a software paradigm where the software must work as well offline as it does online.

I've been building offline-first apps[0] for quite a while in both desktop and mobile space.

I have a different definition[1] of what an offline-first app is:

Offline-first apps are apps which can run and function completely offline or without needing the internet for an indefinite amount of time. To offline-first apps, providing all functionality offline is the "primary objective" and any online functionality such as syncing to cloud is secondary.

Also, I personally don't consider an app using temporary cache to store data to be an offline-first app. It must use a local database. Sometimes the "offline-tolerant" apps are confused with offline-first apps. Offline-tolerant apps often provide partial functionality and eventually need an internet connection to sync data.

> Uses ReactNative SQLite as storage. Claims to be much faster than the asyncstorage adapter. To use it, you have to do some steps from this tutorial.
