"Offline-ready" indicator

Lectura de 3 min

The "Ready to use offline" message you see the first time you open Slima — what is it, and do you need to do anything?

Bookshelf cards (zh-TW shown): green ✓ also means "offline ready" — local cache is complete, you can read/write with no network

What it does

The first time you open Slima (Web / PWA / Desktop):

  1. A Service Worker starts downloading Slima's code and assets into local cache
  2. The download takes a moment (depends on your network)
  3. When done, a one-time toast appears: "Ready to use offline ✓"

After that:

  • No need to re-download program assets each time
  • Slima opens and reaches the editor even with no network
  • Each launch is faster

What to do after seeing it

Nothing required. If you want to confirm, you can:

  • Just keep using it normally
  • Try opening Slima with the network off, to verify it works

Didn't see this message?

Possible reasons:

  • Not your first time — Slima already cached, so it won't prompt again
  • Just updated — a large version update may trigger it once more

Suspect the cache is broken

If Slima behaves oddly and you suspect a corrupt local cache:

  • Account → Preferences → "Clear local cache"
  • Or a hard refresh: ⌘⇧R / Ctrl Shift R
  • After re-caching, "Ready to use offline" appears again

Technical background: Service Worker

Slima uses a Service Worker for offline-first caching:

  • Web / PWA: uses the browser's Service Worker
  • Desktop: the app bundles assets itself, no Service Worker needed

The user experience is the same either way — install once, work offline.
