This app uses a Service Worker to load quickly and work offline.
sw-precacheis used to serve local static resources (App Shell) cache first.sw-toolboxis used to handle requests using thenetworkFirststrategy. If a request fails, the app will fulfill the request from the cache. This means previously loaded pages will now work offline.
With Chromium based browsers for Android (Chrome, Opera, etc...), Angular 2 HN includes a Web App Manifest that allows you to install to your homescreen.
Built in theme engine!
Current themes:
- Default
- Night
- Black (AMOLED)
More to come!
- Realtime updating using the Firebase SDK (may need to add option to settings so service worker can still rely on REST endpoints)
- Server side rendering
Feel free to send me feedback on twitter or file an issue! Feature requests are always welcome.
Note: This project has been ejected (with AOT + production settings) in order to customize Webpack configurations.
