NOT ON THE CURRENT EDITION
This blip is not on the current edition of the Radar. If it was on one of the last few editions, it is likely that it is still relevant. If the blip is older, it might no longer be relevant and our assessment might be different today. Unfortunately, we simply don't have the bandwidth to continuously review blips from previous editions of the Radar.

When implementing single-page applications, sooner or later the question of offline use will come up. Given how hard it is to get this right when retrofitting an offline mode into an existing application, there is a trend towards implementing single-page applications with an “offline-first” mindset. An important implementation technique that we have used successfully is local storage sync. With this technique, the user facing code never makes requests to the backend. It retrieves data solely from local storage. A background worker synchronises the data in local storage with the backend systems, usually employing calls to some form of REST API.
