A few months ago, I saw Andrew Betts of the Financial Times Labs speak at the O'Reilly Fluent JavaScript conference. I was intrigued by their focus of using HTML5/JS to provide offline caching of content so that a reader could keep clicking on story links even if they were away from Wi-Fi connections.
Betts discussed some of the hurdles they encountered. Including their creation of a custom compression algorithm applied against the UTF-16 JS data so that much more could be stored on the client device.
