gollark: While I am obviously very late to this, I see absolutely nothing wrong with using people's work for free if they literally released it so people could use it for free under a license allowing people to use it for free.

gollark: Also, it's mildly irritating that you have to re-parse `Date`s on the other end.

gollark: A binary format would be somewhat more space-efficient and avoid the hassle of base64ing binary blobs, and lossily parsing and stringifying floats.

gollark: It's kind of a shame everything ended up going with *JSON*, of all things, since it's such a bad serialization format in many ways.

gollark: My site actually does manage to get at least *partial* offline support, using the service worker API.
