Regarding PWA support, I often read you can use PWAs offline. I can not imagine a Website that I would want offline. Can someone please give me an useful example of such an offline Website?
- pacifika 5y agoAny website you might access whilst on a train or in other situations with spotty connectivity
- tommek4077 5y agoI don't understand. Where is the data coming from? When it is open, I have it open, if I click anywhere, what should be displayed? Is it for some kind of ebook and fetching the coming pages beforehand?
- upbeat_general 5y agoI think the idea is not necessarily to make fully offline websites (though some people will), but to provide a more consistent interface akin to native apps. Most apps you use require network access but you can still interact with them on very slow/broken connection. Meanwhile you try to load a website and it’s a much different experience. But as for offline apps, I could imagine music/podcast players (where you can save offline media), offline maps, etc.
- tommek4077 5y agoBut all those examples are already working without PWAs. In the past we called those programs or applications. Why using the browser as runtime?
- SquareWheel 5y agoDevDocs.io is a very useful offline app. Download your desired documentation in advance, and continue coding when your net is out. Apps I'd like to see are Pixlr and RegExr. Any utility like that makes a good PWA candidate.
- tommek4077 5y agoRegExr is really a quite useful example. So, some kind of JavaScript program, you'd like to use sporadically. Docs on the other hand are downloadable since forever.
