I think you partially misunderstood the parent comment - he was talking about requiring the internet for building the app ("Who in 2021 is building web apps with no internet access [while developing]?"), but you responded to using web apps w/o internet ("Who in 2021 is building web apps [for use] with no internet access?").
A bit of your point still stands, but, as the sister comment correctly pointed out, when you're building a web app for offline usage, Firebase is not the right choice of technology.
- vageli 6y agoI don't think that is true. Having worked in regulated environments, the depedencies are mirrored internally with something like artifactory and must be approved for use after a license vetting, etc. The application build process would not touch the public internet to retrieve any content.
- kelnos 6y agoI think you're missing the original point. If your app is built on top of something like Firebase, then clearly your org has approved that use. So when developing the app, you should have access to Firebase. If your org has not approved any cloud services, then you can run everything on your development machine (database, webapp, cache, etc.), or a provisioned dev environment if the full stack is too heavy for a single workstation.
