Dan Gebhardt: Give Apps Online Superpowers by Optimizing them for Offline | JSConf Iceland 2018

https://2018.jsconf.is/speakers/dan-gebhardt/ Applications that are able to operate offline require a certain level of rigor for storing state and tracking mutations. It turns out that an application built with this rigor can also provide a better online user experience, by applying and tracking changes optimistically yet deterministically. This talk will provide an overview of the engineering required to build a successful offline web application. It will discuss how to track mutations and synchronize them using an approach inspired by git, as well as how to develop a natural UX that clearly represents the state of data in transition.
