Is anyone working on local-first development tools? Does it sucks for everyone or just me? Between using symlinks & handling Vite's caching, I feel like I’m trying to build a number of utility libraries to use across projects and had to reason about this messy, brittle workflow.

symlinks are such a pain in the ***. Can you give more details of the issues you're hitting? I've encounted issues with Vite's caching. In the end I had to change the way I approached it.

Too long for x... even writing this little explainer gives me a little hope that I might not be crazy. Maybe we need to build better local-first development tools. gist.github.com/davo/881ad0e…
