Offline support for Fig Dashboard

seato commented 2 years ago

Checks

[X] I have searched github.com/withfig/fig/issues and there are no duplicates of my issue
[X] I have run fig doctor in the affected terminal session
[X] I have run fig restart and replicated the issue again

Operating system

macOS Monterey 12.5.1

Expected behaviour

I should be able to access most of the fig app offline--though not the plugins section, but that should have a window letting the user know they're offline vs a "Something went wrong" error.

Actual behaviour

I end up seeing "Something went wrong :( TypeError: Load failed" errors across the Fig applicatopn

Steps to reproduce

Turn off your WiFi.
Open up fig ($ fig in terminal).
Click on any of the side menu options.

Hey @seato! Thanks for making the issue 🙂

I don't think we have any plans to do full offline support just yet. Most things require hitting the backend. We can improve the offline experience though

Don't show errors, have a better offline page
Cache dotfile blocks and plugins, display them but don't allow them to be edited

Thoughts? @rahulsarathy @parssak

I want to add full offline support SO bad... just don't have the bandwidth for it rn unfortunately ☹︎

From my past experience half baked solutions (throwing everything in local storage) usually ends in disaster with syncing issues, but it's def something we can look into if we can do a cheap solution well. Thoughts @rahulsarathy ?
