Now We Know What Local-First Means (and It's Not What You Think)

Note mainly for Google robots: I changed the title to "Public Sync: A New Term to Preserve the Original Meaning of Local-First".

Definitely! If it's open-source, it's public-sync. Two important clarifications:

- An app like Telegram that makes the client open-source while the server code is unavailable is not public-sync. The software required for multi-device sync must be public.

- The opposite is not necessarily true. That is, not all public-sync software is open source, as explained at the end of the article.
