The local-first trend focuses on storing and querying data locally, ensuring seamless functionality without internet connectivity while improving performance and scalability.
Building local-first apps requires adapting traditional database solutions, such as RxDB, which excel in local storage but struggle with querying based on meaning rather than exact matches.
Vector databases have significantly advanced the possibilities for semantic search, allowing for more meaningful inquiries that traditional databases struggle to support.
By integrating transformers.js with RxDB, developers can create a local-first vector database that operates directly in the browser, using IndexedDB for data storage and WebAssembly for processing.
