Depending on your application, you might find yourself in a position to offer your users the ability to use your program even if they have spotty or missing internet connectivity. By thinking about your app in terms of being offline-first, you can increase the overall response time of your application while providing a safety net for users to fall back on that allows them to continue working even in the absense of an internet connection. All of this is made possible with modern browsers, specialized files called Service Workers, and of course, Vue.js.
