It's amazing to me how we called "box-product" now has a fancy new name "local-first". "Box product" is quite well understood. It has a lot of benefits, but also the business model is harder to get right comparing to cloud services. For opensource projects, that will not be a problem tho.
- 9283409232 1y agoLot of young people don't know what a box product is. You're showing your age.
- namuol 1y agoHow dare people walk around showing their age. Disgusting!
- 9283409232 1y agoWay to miss the point. They said box product is well understood but it isn't these days.
- k__ 1y agoI'm 40 and I never heard that term.
- 361994752 1y agoIt reminds me of that joke where young people see a floppy disk for the first time and say, "Oh, you 3D printed the save icon!" Might be reality very soon.
- 9283409232 1y agoDamn this hit me hard. If I ever hear this I know it's time to retire.
- plorkyeran 1y agoI'm old enough to have bought software boxes in stores and I've never heard the term "box-product".
- msgodel 1y agoWe just called them "CDs" and sometimes they didn't even have a box. Those were called "shrink-wrapped CDs" (even though the boxes were usually shrink-wrapped too.)
