Emoji description

Improves offline support

Describe the use case of your emoji

Offline support allows users to access features of an app when they have no internet access, or a patchy connection.

Adding or improving offline support often involves a variety of architecture, caching, configuration and UI changes, for instance:

• Setting up a caching system to store data for offline access
• Adding offline handling to API services or network requests
• Updating UI patterns to handle optimistic updates and rollbacks

There's overlap with a few other gitmojis, but none fully articulate the why of the action - for instance:

🥅 because ideally offline-ness would be caught before an error occurs (e.g. without bothering to make an API call)
🗃 because on-device caching may be achieved through a variety of approaches, not just databases
🤡 because optimistic updates are more temporary than mocks
🚸 because offline-related changes won't always impact the user experience, but may lay the foundations of future improvements
🏗 because all changes won't affect the architecture (e.g. caching new data to the same place, UI)

Is this use case covered by an existing emoji?

No ❌

Does this emoji fall into the "how" or the "what" category?

• This proposal do not describe "how" a commit was made, but does in fact describe "what" is the contents of the commit about.

Examples

✈️ Caches successful API responses to device storage
✈️ Adds optimistic update handling to API service
✈️ Handles offline case in data upload UI
