Alicia Rojas - Building an offline experience with a Rails-powered PWA - Rails World 2023

Progressive web apps (PWAs) allow us to provide rich offline experiences as native apps would, while still being easy to use and share, as web apps are. Learn how to turn your regular Rails app into a PWA, taking advantage of the front-end tools that come with Rails by default since version 7.
Telos Labs Software Engineer Alicia Rojas covers exciting stuff such as: caching and providing an offline fallback, how to make your app installable, and performing offline CRUD actions with IndexedDB and Hotwire.
Note: Most code samples from this talk belong to a case study of an application conceived for rural people living in areas lacking stable internet access, such as farmers and agricultural technicians.

I really love that with all the hard constraints (mobile users, works offline, saves data, sync data when online) you managed to build a PWA with Rails that does the job!
