Service workers
summary
Demo site plays a tiny animated loop to calm a child and proves offline works: a service worker pre-cache + runtime cache supplies fonts and lazyloads music, with an AppCache iframe fallback for older browsers. A background worker generates modular Modernizr builds and performs a web worker gzip build pipeline so UI stays smooth. A manifest generator (manifestation) auto-creates web manifests, IndexedDB/PouchDB store gigabytes for media, and Windows store ingestion wraps PWAs as UWAs with native APIs; cross‑browser support varies.
