PWA for app refreshes #15

Open baetheus opened 4 years ago

Currently app upgrades happen when the page refreshes. When the puzzle list changes (which should now be rare), this can cause a puzzle to disappear while someone was working on it.. Baaad. Ideally we should use a webworker to for reload the page when new versions are detected.

For service worker let's not go too deep: https://developers.google.com/web/tools/workbox/modules/workbox-cli

Goals:

Mark app as a PWA that is installable
Use cache then fallback to network for file access
Be sure that app start checks for app changes and and reloads if necessary
For long running apps periodically check for changes and reload if necessary
New icon for bee - maybe get https://hoodzpahdesign.com/ in on it
