 All of the patterns use [Electric](https://electric-sql.com/product/sync) for the read-path (i.e.: syncing data from Postgres into the local app) and implement a different approach to the write-path (i.e.: how they handle local writes and get data from the local app back into Postgres):
 
-- [`1-online-writes`](./patterns/1-online-writes) uses online writes through the backend API
+- [`1-online-writes`](./patterns/1-online-writes) works online, writing data through the backend API
 - [`2-optimistic-state`](./patterns/2-optimistic-state) supports offline writes with simple optimistic state (component-scoped, no persistence)
 - [`3-combine-on-read`](./patterns/3-combine-on-read) syncs into an immutable table, persists optimistic state in a shadow table and combines the two on read
 - [`4-through-the-db`](./patterns/4-through-the-db) uses the local database as a unified mutable store, syncs changes to the server and keeps enough history and bookkeeping data around to be able to revert local changes when necessary
