The Many Facets of Offline First
The Offline First community answers the question: What is Offline First?
The Offline First community is made up of developers, designers, user experience professionals, security professionals, privacy experts, and many others with a diverse range of perspectives and interests. The Offline First community has gathered regularly at Offline Camps around the world to discuss the intersection of Offline First with everything from Progressive Web Apps, hybrid mobile apps, native mobile apps, desktop apps, the Internet of Things (IoT), the decentralized web and peer-to-peer technologies, data science, analytics at the edge, and much more. We asked Offline Camp participants to share some of the key themes that have emerged from these conversations:
There is no single definition of Offline First. These voices represent only a cross section of the broader Offline First community. The Offline Camp Medium publication contains dozens and dozens of posts exploring the many aspects of Offline First, as well as a curated list of additional resources ranging from videos to podcasts. You can also join the Offline First Slack team to discuss the many challenges and opportunities in the Offline First space.
