I think this is confusion based on “local”.

There’s geographical locality e.g. apps like ChatRadar[0] that show information from nearby.

And then there’s data-locality e.g. is the data stored on your device or does it all ultimately live on a server somewhere that’s the authoritative source of truth.

Exactly. Your apps should work basically as well with no internet access, instead of either failing completely or becoming slow and sluggish.
