I helped a legacy Lotus Notes application reincarnate once, and it was impressive how reasonably solid it's ability was to be offline-first, and mobile first, and how fewer sychronization/replication errors there were than I expected.

Lotus Notes was doing decentralized apps built with NoSQL databases before either of those things were cool. Mostly because "going online" was potentially quite an undertaking at the time.

Agreed - Lotus Notes def is an example of a working NoSQL database that scales in relating data as well where other noSQL databases only dream of.

Being offline-first has it's advantages too.
