gollark: It doesn't actually work properly yet.
gollark: The idea is that it can work even if your internet connection is disconnected, but only on pages you've previously visited.
gollark: Yes, offline mode.
gollark: The current implementation has... several problems:- it keeps cached data even if osmarks.tk is updated- it intercepts requests to dynamic stuff like IncDec and Isso, which is normally fine but makes it break oddly in offline mode- it seems to re-request everything all the time.
gollark: I should probably fix the service worker it uses for offline mode, though.
