I definitely need to improve how Nicolium handles no/limited internet connection. Or I should move all users to Poland where we don’t have such issues
first thing is to actually cache the bundle. this shouldn’t cause problems if i deploy new builds less often (but this should be configurable per-deployment). i also want the client to load something from the cache, maybe make the home timeline and user’ own profile, generally make it work more like an app.

2026 🔜 Mi, as someone who used to work on one of the most popular Android apps in Russia, my attitude towards these things has permanently changed. I have an irrational fear of APIs that require multiple requests to render a single screen (so Mastodon API, yeah). I always ask myself "what happens if this request fails" whenever I make a one. I consider every request almost a liability. A sequence of requests that depend on each other's results is the stuff of nightmares.

Poland where we don’t have such issues

I'm sure it's possible to find places even in the center of Warsaw where mobile data sucks ass
