A conference talk from ElixirConf EU 2026 covering a year of Hologram releases (v0.5–v0.8) and the project's direction toward local-first architecture. The talk surveys the local-first landscape, explains why CRDTs guarantee convergence but not invariants, and highlights what remains unsolved in the industry. It concludes by arguing that Elixir has structural advantages for local-first development — a single language across the stack, OTP, metaprogramming, and call graph analysis — that JavaScript-first sync engines cannot replicate.
