Feature Request: Offline / PWA Support use TryPost without an internet connection and install it as a native app experience

[githb-ac]

TryPost is currently a browser-dependent web application that requires a live internet connection for every interaction — composing, scheduling, reviewing analytics, and managing the inbox all fail silently or with errors the moment connectivity drops. For social media managers working on trains, in airports, at events, or in locations with unreliable connectivity, this is a meaningful productivity gap. This feature request proposes Progressive Web App support for TryPost that enables offline drafting and composing, background sync when connectivity returns, and a fully installable native app experience on both desktop and mobile without requiring an App Store download.

Summary

Transform TryPost into a fully installable Progressive Web App with offline capability for core workflows. Users can install TryPost to their home screen or desktop, compose and edit posts without an internet connection, and have all offline actions drafts saved, posts queued, edits made automatically synchronised to the server the moment connectivity is restored. The installed PWA experience matches the quality of a native app including push notifications, fast launch times, and full-screen display without browser chrome.

Why This Matters

The shift to PWA is not merely a convenience feature it is an infrastructure signal that TryPost takes mobile-first and reliability-first seriously. Social media managers are not desk-bound; they work at shoots, events, client sites, and in transit. A tool that becomes unusable the moment WiFi drops is a tool that gets replaced by one that does not. PWA support also removes the App Store dependency entirely users on Android and desktop can install TryPost as a first-class app without waiting for a native app release, and iOS users benefit from Safari's PWA support for home screen installation. For agency users managing multiple client accounts on the go, offline composing and background sync are not optional refinements they are the difference between TryPost being a primary tool or a desk-only secondary one.

Proposed MVP

Full PWA manifest enabling TryPost to be installed on iOS, Android, and desktop via browser prompt

Offline composing users can write, edit, and save post drafts without an internet connection with all changes stored locally

Background sync that automatically pushes all offline actions to the server when connectivity is restored, with a clear sync status indicator in the UI

Cached content calendar so users can view their upcoming scheduled posts and recent drafts while offline

Cached analytics dashboard showing the most recently loaded data when offline with a timestamp indicating when data was last refreshed

Push notifications delivered through the PWA for scheduled post confirmations, engagement alerts, and sentiment spike warnings removing the dependency on email notifications for time-sensitive signals

Offline indicator banner that appears when connectivity is lost and a sync confirmation notification when connection is restored and pending actions have been uploaded

Fast launch performance with a service worker pre-caching core app assets so TryPost loads instantly on repeat visits regardless of connection quality
