We need a reminder to delete the parts the will be outdated on v0.11 release

Also I don't understand how cache can work if you can't access homarr on the first place. I'm not aware of us having some kind of offline mode coded anywhere in the app so how can you access it from anywhere other than your local network if you don't have internet ?

Good point we should remove that note after 0.11 is out or has been out for a little bit.

Offline use case isn't common but you could always access your server locally, with remote URLs they wouldn't load and with the cache things would look normal. This is definitely a nice-to-have, primarily the benefit is not having to download remote images. It's also nice to be resilient against the URL changing and is a lower load on the icon server to only hit them once instead of every time.
