Feature request: allow offline mode

Open feldifux opened this issue 7 years ago • 4 comments

Allow to log time while offline (and cache it locally) and then send the time log automatically once online. Users might be on train/plane etc with limited internet connection. Currently the tool is not usable then.

Priority 2 would be to also allow to create tasks, comments while offline. But I guess this is quite a lot of effort, and is not that important as time logging.

+1 for that functionality. It could be implemented as a Service Worker, possibly with Background Sync or a custom queue of requests to perform when online.

+1 That would be great. It happened several times to me today that my time was not logged, because the connection was pretty bad.

Thank you for the proposal, definitely, we will implement it

Might be related, or maybe a new feature request. But when the timer is running and you close the application (windows update in my case) the time is lost.

Since the offline time logging is part of this request, I think it makes sense to store the running timer in some "persistent" storage (local storage?) and continue on next start, maybe immediately triggering the away dialog?
