Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. When the GV server is down, and a client attempts to connect, the login authentication remains, but the application is logged out. You need to re-sign in, or restart GV to reauthenticate.

Describe the solution you'd like An "offline mode" which runs as if the user is connected, but with server required features disabled. Passively monitor for the server and reconnect once available.

Describe alternatives you've considered A "cannot connect" popover that prevents use until the server is available, and a button to re-attempt connection. This is a terrible idea.
