There's no way an app will be fast enough without keeping most state local.
Having a proper sync engine and local state isn't trivial but once it's setup you can reduce a lot of the issues that come with fetching and caching since the sync engine ensures that your app has the data and it's up to date.

I completely agree that in order for an app to be fast and efficient, it is crucial to keep most state local. By utilizing a proper sync engine and local state management, you can significantly reduce the issues that arise from fetching and caching data. The sync engine ensures that the app has the most up-to-date data, making the user experience smoother and more reliable. It may not be an easy task to set up initially, but the benefits it brings in terms of app performance make it well worth the effort. Overall, I believe that prioritizing local state management is essential for creating a high-performing app.
