Generally speaking I think we should aim for offline first, always. Obvious things like Teams or Slack requires an internet connection to work, but assuming a working internet connection shouldn't even be a requirement for a web browser. I think it is bad design to expect a working internet connection, because in many places your can't expect bandwidth be cheap, or the connection to be stable. That's not to say that something like Google Docs (others seems to like it, but everyone in my company thinks it's awful) should be a thing, there's certainly value in the real time collaboration features, but it should be able to function without an internet connection. Last week someone was complaining about the S3 (sleep) feature on laptops, and one thing that came to my mind is that despite these being portable, we somehow expect them to be always connected to the internet. That just seems like a somewhat broken mindset to me.
