Panel 1: Offline

on YouTube ↗01h 02m

" summary

Conference panel argues that current offline APIs are broken in practice: AppCache serves cached assets even when online, updates only when the manifest changes, and aborts an entire atomic update on one 404, so a Lanyard-style web app using Mustache ends up caching the UI shell but synchronizing content into local storage or IndexedDB with ad‑hoc logic. The practical fixes proposed are a programmable navigation controller, explicit quota/permission for permanent caches, and better async storage primitives; two‑way sync remains application‑specific and hard.
