No offline support.

Describe briefly how you would implement this enhancement.

### Offline First Experience with Caching and Sync Status Indicator

In today’s digital environment, users often encounter connectivity issues, which can disrupt their interaction with a website or application. Implementing an "Offline First" approach could greatly improve user experience, especially for those accessing the platform in areas with intermittent internet access. 

The idea is to integrate offline support in the app, ensuring users can still browse core content and access cached data even when they temporarily lose connectivity. By using service workers to cache essential assets and certain frequently accessed data, we can ensure that the application remains accessible and performs smoothly offline. Additionally, we’ll implement a **Sync Status Indicator** to keep users informed about their connectivity state. This status component can display whether they’re online, offline, or in a syncing state, helping them better understand the app's behavior. 

For example, consider a platform similar to YouTube. Offline capabilities would allow users to load recent data or static content even if their connection is unstable, making for a seamless experience. The sync status indicator adds transparency, showing users when their content is being updated or when the app is operating with cached data.

This enhancement would add significant reliability to the application, benefiting a wide range of users, and setting the project apart from others that don’t offer offline functionality.

Assign this to me under GSSoC 2024 Ext and Hacktoberfest. I will work on this issue.
