Cache enough that we wouldn't need to download? #166

Open danwdart opened 8 years ago

danwdart commented 8 years ago

I suggest that since we are using AppCache we should set it to cache enough stuff that it is both new enough and caches enough.

Ideally: everything possible, and check for new whenever possible.

I think AppCache asks permission before caching big things so in that we should be fine.

This should massively help people with dodgy internet in places.

I don't think we should need a place for downloads to be set up really. Maybe a place to delete cached files?

This is to behave as an app in the end.

Oo-err. This standard got dropped. Service workers look far worse at the moment...

There aren't many appcache-like service worker examples annoyingly... it's going to take a bit more...

We can now use service workers for this
