Offline use

[jaicab]

As an exercise of experimentation, I want to make this site work offline. In order to do this, I'll be using:

• Service Workers: To host the app offline and sync with new versions.
  • Intro to SW: http://www.html5rocks.com/en/tutorials/service-worker/introduction/
  • Documentation: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Service_Worker_API
• localStorage: To keep all the information and sync with the DB when you are online.

The only thing you must know to do this is that the timestamp must be created on the frontend and then sent via AJAX.

Ok we need to talk about this next weekend.

May be interesting to use IndexDB instead of localStorage? https://auth0.com/blog/2015/10/30/creating-offline-first-web-apps-with-service-workers/

Support: http://caniuse.com/#feat=indexeddb

I'll be working on this, it's going to work offline, at least you should be able to see the content :)
