Maybe a Progressive Web App could work? If I remember correctly, it requires basically just adding a cache manifest.
Initial setup can be finnicky (test it on a separate subdomain!) but it shouldn't require much more than a correctly configured cache manifest and a few lines of code to handle updates.
- 411111111111111 6y agothere are even some frameworks that make it extra easy, like angular for example (just `ng add @angular/pwa` and you're basically done). while it is pretty easy and doable in maybe 1-2 days, depending on how fluent you are with these kinds of things... it's not entirely in the authors best interest. if people start using it `offline`, he wont be able to get advertisement revenue after all ;)

- jannes 6y agoCareful! You can get users stuck on an old version if you configure it incorrectly
- tgsovlerkhgsel 6y agoDoesn't deleting the manifest solve that? I thought serving a 404 for it makes browsers delete their cache exactly to provide a way out of this trap. But yes, this is why I suggested testing with a separate subdomain.
