When an asset is needed by the application, we should be able to display it immediately. Networking is slow, so requesting the asset only when needed would introduce lag. We should be able to instruct the browser to download a set of assets ahead of time, so that when we need to display them to the user they are immediately available.
PreCaching:
Service worker / AppCache fallback?
Memory asset management
Loading:
Be able to know what has been loaded (what is cached)
Be able to express that with some sort of UX; not a loading bar, but some games let you play and load the next content at the same time; we could provide that sort of boiler UX
