" summary

Argues that Offline First means shipping the whole app on device and treating the network as progressive enhancement, with separate update cycles for data versus assets, storing essential records locally and only syncing changes; recommends compressed hero images, SVG/CSS icons and even base64-encoded fonts in local storage to save bandwidth. Describes using webcompat.com to collect browser bugs, filing spec issues or nudging vendors, and deploying a system add-on that patches large sites (example: Facebook) when vendors refuse to fix them.
