Offline First vs. Online as a Feature

[janl]

[15:51:21] <@gr2m>   I also keep thinking about how this is different to native apps that have "online" as a feature. Or if it's the same. I swing back and forth :)
[15:51:47] <@gr2m>   I think to me, offline-first is for apps that _are_ connected, with all its benefits, without the suck
[15:52:26] <@gr2m>   compared to where "online" is a feature, that I explicitly use as a user, e.g. "send & receive" in an email client, or the "sync" button in certain apps
[15:53:20] <@jan>    yup, that’s two very good distrinctions to observe
[15:53:28] <@jan>    e.g. native apps tend to have online as a feature
[15:53:41] <@jan>    web apps have online as a default and only maybe offline as a feature
[15:54:19] <@jan>    but it is equally feasible to have online-first native apps, and that these are just two general design principles for apps in whichever environment
[15:54:31] <@jan>    it’s just that one environment (native) is more aligned with online as a feature
[15:55:24] <@gr2m>   +1

@janl Cool explanation. I came across this content from Couchdb site? Do you have links to more resources and documentation on setup and configuration?
