gollark: This™ does have the minor disadvantage that™ you'll need to refresh the page™ to receive site updates™ sometimes™, so that™ it loads the service worker™ again to detect™ the new™ version.
gollark: If you visit a page, it will now use magic™ to cache it locally, and then serve that local copy until it detects that the site has been updated, and that will continue to work even without an Internet connection with cached pages.
gollark: Good news! I fixed the service worker setup, so you can now use osmarks.tk offline (ish).
gollark: I should offer some sort of API for RAM downloads.
