Session Recap: Save the World with Offline First
From Offline Camp California
At Offline Camp, I proposed a session on identifying how Offline First applications can improve, and even save, people’s lives. We had a great discussion, which I’d like to share.
To build an application that works everywhere, you must first focus on the system’s most resource-constrained environment. In this case, people with little to no network connectivity represent your most resource-constrained user base. If your users have variable connectivity, or if they lose it completely, will they still be able to get the base minimum of the information they need from your application?
Head over to the Offline Camp Medium to learn more about our discussion on building Offline First applications that help users with social media access, scientific research, data collection and storage, disaster response and healthcare, and environmental activism. Maybe we’ll even see you the next time the Offline First community gets together!
