Offline-first Google alternatives

Build a suite of productivity tools that work fully offline. Google's dominance shows demand but creates single point of failure.

Why now

Increasing internet fragmentation makes reliable offline tools valuable again.

Who for
Offline communities
Business model
One-time purchases
Effort
A few months

Travelers, rural users, and privacy-conscious individuals need productivity tools that don't depend on Google's servers.

A PWA suite (search, email, docs) with peer-to-peer sync when online.

One-time purchase for individuals, site licenses for NGOs in low-connectivity areas.

Start with a markdown-based notes app with USB sync.

Risk: Hard to match Google's ecosystem effects.
