Offline Django with Service Workers
summary
A Django-backed mobile web app for Timor-Leste uses service workers inside webviews to serve patient lists and notifications offline, pre-caching JSON endpoints and static assets at install so the UI loads instantly even when the network is down. The project supports about 20,000 mothers and midwives who manage ~100 patients each, and it implements a cache-then-network update pattern so pages show immediately and then refresh in the background; it also uses background sync to retry queued actions until delivery.
