• service worker?
• support for docs browsers like Dash?

Apparently this is possible in the latest Docusaurus alpha.

Would this automatically be part of #487 or does it have to be enabled manually?

[alexkrolick]

It's a separate plugin... We want to be careful with service workers here. Don't want to serve stale content accidentally.

Now that #487 was merged, I can take this one. Any important stuff to keep in mind when working on it?

[alexkrolick]

I think Kent has been bit by stale service workers serving outdated pages a few times now, so let's just be careful about testing this... For now the offline usecase can be solved by cloning the docs repo.

We could split this into a separate task, but publishing the docs into the Dash docset database would also be a nice way to handle offline access

@alexkrolick do you have experience with publishing some docs to the docset? It really looks not straightforwards as I thought it would be.. I guess we'd want to use something like: https://kapeli.com/docsets#dashDocset, they have generators but seems to me like it's a real overhead and will need to be manually updated..

Yea I would love if it was added to the kapeli dash app
