The most frequent reason for offline mode I heard is "using app while being off grid" which is quite ironic to me since it's when people suppose to do something else. This excludes offline-only apps like calculator.
- cgrealy 4y agoJust because you’re off the grid doesn’t mean you’re not working. You might be at a remote site, or on a plane with no Wi-Fi. But, yeah, if those are common use cases for your app, you should absolutely be designing for offline.
- Existenceblinks 4y agoI tried coding on a plane, it's super unproductive. Off-grid, to me, means reading book, playing sport, enjoying nature etc. No internet, no work. The time in your entire life without the internet connection is so short really.
- cgrealy 4y agoI am the same, but there are people who don't have that choice. Your job may literally involve entering data at a remote site with sketchy-to-no internet (mines, farms, geological surveys, etc).
