Wow, nice implementation, very smooth.

I’m building photopipe.app, a paid cloud-based culling tool, so I’m taking the opposite approach. Curious what made local-first important for you.

That's some serious commitment there, i don't want to be responsible for people's files and i don't want to lock them into my software either. It seems to me highly inefficient to upload raws to a server then browse and edit online

As the OP mentioned, seems inefficient to upload RAWs for processing and culling online. However, extracting and uploading the embedded or sidecar full-res JPEG, editing that non-destructively, then applying the edits to the offline RAW copy seems like it might work better.
