Implementing offline sync in your PWA

Queue mutations, retry on reconnect, resolve conflicts, and keep the UI responsive with optimistic updates.
Offline sync is the core of a reliable PWA. PWASK queues writes, retries on reconnect, and applies optimistic UI updates.
Pattern
- Detect offline and queue operations with IDs.
- Persist queue in IndexedDB.
- Retry with backoff; de-duplicate server-side.
- Resolve conflicts via timestamps or custom merge rules.
Tips
- Keep payloads small; compress images.
- Provide user feedback (queued, syncing, done).
- Log sync events for debugging.
Start simple with last-write-wins; upgrade to merges where needed.
