@Gargron I maybe overstated my case. A lot of it is not Mastodon's fault but just how hard it is to write offline-first apps in general.
When I worked on PouchDB, we had a whole sync protocol between the client and server that dealt with versioning, conflicts, etc. You just called `db.sync()` and you were done. I don't expect Mastodon to add this, but it's just an example of the kind of thing I miss from the PouchDB world.
@Gargron@nolan you don't get what happened while you've been offline. I was burned by it before with Tusky. You have a list of posts in db but you can't just show them from db, some of them get deleted or favs etc
