@nprofile…nx2p of @nprofile…4wz6 will be talking about Composing capability security and CRDTs, at @nprofile…jjs5 '26 #LocalFirst & #CRDTs devroom!
CRDTs allow for decentralized replication of data. Capability security allows for decentralized control over behavior. Local-first applications often use access-control list (ACL) security which has significant downsides versus capabilities.
