It's amazing to me how we called "box-product" now has a fancy new name "local-first". "Box product" is quite well understood. It has a lot of benefits, but also the business model is harder to get right comparing to cloud services. For opensource projects, that will not be a problem tho.

I'm old enough to have bought software boxes in stores and I've never heard the term "box-product".

We just called them "CDs" and sometimes they didn't even have a box. Those were called "shrink-wrapped CDs" (even though the boxes were usually shrink-wrapped too.)

Lot of young people don't know what a box product is. You're showing your age.

It reminds me of that joke where young people see a floppy disk for the first time and say, "Oh, you 3D printed the save icon!" Might be reality very soon.

Damn this hit me hard. If I ever hear this I know it's time to retire.

How dare people walk around showing their age. Disgusting!

Way to miss the point. They said box product is well understood but it isn't these days.

I'm 40 and I never heard that term.
