One huge drawback of AppCache is that it’s caching exactly one block of data. This must obviously contain the Discourse “App”, and shouldn’t contain _all_ posts (of course), so the actual data (the posts to be cached) has to be put into something like localStorage, which seems to be often limited to 5 MB.

(I have some experience with AppCache as I have built [one webapp](https://pseuco.com/#/landing) with it. AppCache is unflexible, confusing and punishes you for any mistake you make, but works pretty well if used correctly.)
