Offline-first architecture
Offline mode
An explicit mode in which the launcher and app make no network request at all, like a game launcher's offline mode.
Designed in a document, no code yet
What to plan for
- Clock skew
- Expired manifests cannot be detected offline
- Mixed online and offline devices
