"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?

What it does
The first time you open Slima (Web / PWA / Desktop):
- A Service Worker starts downloading Slima's code and assets into local cache
- The download takes a moment (depends on your network)
- 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.
