At 19:33 I put my phone on airplane mode. After that, the server just didn't get any requests anymore. There's nothing special to be seen in the server logs as far as I can see.

Mealie Version

Deployment

Docker (Synology)

Additional Deployment Details

I used the Postgres Docker compose file.

The shopping list only works online currently since it constantly polls the server for changes and can't store updates to send when online (it either updates the list or fails). We should probably at least keep the shopping list locally consistent if a refresh fails (instead of disappearing). You wouldn't be able to send any updates to the server, but you could at least see it.

Getting it to work offline (by caching/queueing requests in the browser) is more of a lift, though also reasonable. I know it's been discussed a few times.

@michael-genson Should we transition this to (or merge into) a feature request, rather than having here as a bug?

I'm on the fence, I think it's fair to call the behavior of it going blank a bug
