We want to get this working, but the last time we tried with the “You are offline” page wasn’t a great experience. Also we had a lot of [suggestions](https://meta.discourse.org/t/suggestion-offline-mode-pre-loading-discourse-content/115268) about [making](https://meta.discourse.org/t/pocket-offline-reader-support/17500) reading Discourse [possible](https://meta.discourse.org/t/offcourse-a-proof-of-concept-offline-reader-for-discourse/22356) when you are [offline](https://meta.discourse.org/t/exploring-serviceworkers-for-discourse/32422).

Using some libraries from [GitHub - GoogleChrome/workbox: 📦 Workbox: JavaScript libraries for Progressive Web Apps · GitHub](https://github.com/GoogleChrome/workbox) I was able to:

- Remove the “You are offline” page

- Make Discourse fallback to cache when a network request fail aka Discourse will allow offline browsing of every previously visited page.

- Get a perfect score in the PWA Lighthouse audit:

- Get the “Install Site” on the Desktop working (availiable in Chrome canary for now, will land in stable around August)

### Technical Details

The changes are pending in this branch: [https://github.com/discourse/discourse/compare/offline](https://github.com/discourse/discourse/compare/offline)
