At #RailsWorld, Rosa Gutiérrez shared how @37signals tackled one of Hotwire's most requested features: offline mode. After years of custom workarounds, each with varying degrees of challenges, her team took on the challenge using service workers. Long used in PWAs, they're full of gotchas, and making them work correctly in Hotwire Native apps was not an easy task. Hear what worked, what didn’t, and what ‘s next for Hotwire offline.
