We live in a disconnected & battery powered world, but our technology and best practices are a leftover from the always connected & steadily powered past.

Offline capability is a key characteristic of modern Progressive Web Applications. Offline first thinking must learn from and further what we’ve seen work with Responsive and Mobile First thinking.

Read the introduction and then follow up on A List Apart. Visit or organise a local event, join the Offline First Chat, or check out additional resources.

We want to spark a discussion around:

• UI Conventions for Offline Apps
• UX patterns
• User research
• Mental model discovery
• Tools and techniques for building offline capable apps
• Distributed systems research
• Technology solutions for handling offline
• Web and Native

We are collecting discussion results from all of the above on our Offline First GitHub Organisation.
