| Avoid | Why | Use Instead |
|-------|-----|-------------|
| **Firebase / Supabase** | Requires online connection for core operations; violates "local-only" strict privacy constraint. | Dexie.js + Local IndexedDB |
| **Plain Firebase / Supabase DB Sync** | Default syncing exposes raw unencrypted database schemas to the cloud provider, violating zero-knowledge privacy. | Custom Node/Express server + E2E encrypted payloads database |
| **Bootstrap** | Heavy, outdated styling that doesn't adapt well to modern native mobile looks. | TailwindCSS / CSS variables |
## Stack Patterns by Variant
**If strict local privacy is required:**
- Use IndexedDB (via Dexie.js) for storage.
- Because IndexedDB runs entirely in the user's browser sandbox and has no cloud sync, guaranteeing absolute data ownership.
**If strict user privacy with multi-device access is required:**
- Use Client-Side E2E Encryption (AES-GCM-256) combined with Local-first IndexedDB (via Dexie.js) synced to a zero-knowledge PostgreSQL server.
- Because client-side encryption ensures the server operator only holds encrypted payloads, retaining absolute user data privacy.
**If poor connectivity is expected:**
- Configure Workbox Service Worker in "CacheFirst" or "StaleWhileRevalidate" mode.
- Because it ensures the application shell loads immediately even with 0% network connection.
- Because it ensures the application shell loads immediately even with 0% network connection, queueing synchronization packets until the device is online.
