* local-first applications! : Let’s say I have a collaborative application. And I want to be able to work with that application, event when I’m offline. And that means creating new content that should be added to the common database. What I expect is for the application to let me create my new content, and merge it to the central shared database when I’m back online. And I expect my coworkers to be able to do the same. In this scenario, entries in the database can’t be indexed with an auto incrementing number. Because my coworkers and myself, while offline, would be creating entries with the same ID. And once back online, we would face numerous data merging issues. UUID in this case, is a marvelous solution!
