Remote work and study is an effective way to reduce the spread of contagious infections, but not everyone has access to reliable networks. We want to shine a spotlight on offline-first software which allows people to synchronize data when they're connected to the internet, and to continue interacting with it when they're not.
We're interested in hearing about applications that support intermittent connectivity. Tell us about your success stories with the use of such software, or the failure cases with online-only apps that motivated your interest.
Share the lessons learnt from development:
* how you handle or prevent conflicts when replicating data
* the UX impacts of eventually-consistent models
* approaches for debugging unexpected behaviour in distributed systems
Apply up until midnight, January 19th, 2025 (anywhere on Earth)

Latest comic. A British consumer rights group examined unnecessary data harvesting by “smart” devices, including air fryers connected to phone apps. While these devices may not pose the greatest privacy risk in our everyday lives, they are part of a growing Internet of Things capable of collecting data when and where we least expect it.
