make the app able to work completely offline about flux

This looks great. Can it work at all offline, if so, do you think you could give me a few pointers please? I loaded index.html and the settings, etc are greyed out. Thanks.

Hi, it's possible to make the browser fetch all files and resources from a local cache. That's achieved with a Service Worker. I had an earlier version of the app configured this way, but found it impractical at least for the early stages of development when I was pushing new version every other day. I couldn't find how to configure it properly so it did not interfere with development and abandoned the idea for later.

I am now trying to get it right, I got master to work on my machine, but on remote gh-pages it is broken. It will take a couple of tries to fix it.

Ok, it appears to be working now. I had to fix the paths for fetch(). The Service Worker in each local browser will need to update,
and this might take some force refreshes (Ctrl+Shift+R on desktop).

The browser console should have the logs:

SW: register success.
Cache Version: Flux-v001

And no errors related to the sw.js file.

Wow, I missed your first comment. Thanks for this. I'll check it out.

Hi, note that this feature is only available on the Beta Archive version of the app that is version number 0.0.5.
The latest version which has much better support for ANT+ on Linux Desktop is at Latest.
All feedback is welcome!
