Online/Offline equivalence: What our interplanetary tomorrow can teach us today
summary
Compares concrete timings (12–45 minute Earth–Mars latency, 24–48 minute page loads) and shows how service workers + local storage (LocalForage, PouchDB) yields an installable, offline app but still incurs long sync delays; introduces content‑addressed distribution with IPFS PubSub + CRDTs to let peers exchange files and databases directly, and suggests Ethereum smart contracts for incorruptible server logic — offline‑first is usable now, distributed web is emerging.
