Facing a fundamental decision while looking to build a web app for small farms — pretty much a typical SAAS database app but with a non-traditional, more interactive UI. The problem is that a lot of these farms have terrible Internet connectivity (just check out this report !). Eventually, the app wi…

Ive recommended this post elsewhere on the forum, this is a super &very interesting approach: [image] Offline-enabled apps with Phoenix LiveView and LiveSvelte Discussions Hi everyone! I’m new to the forums and new to Elixir in general. To learn Elixir, I rec…

Super interesting, thanks! My first thought was that this would have lots of potential in combination with Elixir Desktop . But I would be worried about updates. If they already have bandwidth problems, they’re unlikely to install regular updates and dealing with outdated versions of the app floating…

It’s an excellent post and a fascinating solution, thank you! Thinking through this, I would like to avoid adding to much complexity to the entire app by putting offline code everywhere, but I think it has lots of useful ideas and techniques to consider a separate offline portion of the app that cou…

A thought, while looking into this: just like a “Reduce Motion” feature in accessibility that will skip animations, I am thinking of a “Reduce Network Use” mode for my app that would minimize both bandwidth (choosing lower res WebP images, for example) and server roundtrips (like keystroke validatio…

I do think LV alone offers much of what you need - in the sense of keep as much state as possible on the server. I would also consider Live view native for your use case. https://hexdocs.pm/live_view_native/your-first-native-liveview.html#a-basic-liveview The most excellent team gave a recent pre…

Thanks Pal — I agree about LiveView alone offering much of what I need, and in some ways it offers a much better solution for poor connectivity. If people have high latency and terrible bandwidth, they’re not going to download (or, importantly, update!) a big, heavy client-side app, so being able to…

[image] mikesax: I am thinking of a “Reduce Network Use” mode for my app that would minimize both bandwidth (choosing lower res WebP images, for example) and server roundtrips (like keystroke validation) but still keep the app fully functions. It’d be pretty nifty if that mode’s automagically…
