Warpcast

This week we shipped improvements to how the Warpcast app works on poor network connections.

The full screen error message on network failures should be significantly reduced. The app should also be able to load from locally cached data even when you're offline.

See before/after videos in replies.

There's still room for improvement but it should be a good start. Let me know which parts of the app you'd like to work better when you're offline.

This week I shipped low connectivity improvements to /warpcast 

- detect bad connection to reduce spinners
- improve persisted cache for data needed for startup
- load from persisted cache faster when there is poor connection.
- show inline connection error on feeds, reducing full screen errors.
- show offline/timeout error on full screen error.

The open web is dead, long live the open web. ⌐◨-◨

Never forget the full white screen when the connection failed or Warpcast went down. Felt like you arrived at the gates of heaven.
