Success with offline mode

Bit of random positive feedback, but my home internet randomly died today, and I remember often reading about people being unable to use C3 offline. However, my experience was successful!

I use Chrome with no extensions (My general browser is Firefox, but I use Chrome strictly for C3).

I hadn't opened C3 today, but when internet died, I immediately opened Chrome, and I have a home tab that opens editor.construct.net/beta . I noticed it was loading for longer, so I anxiously waited, and after about 10 seconds, I suddenly see C3's start page. Very good!

I opened a project and saw a popup stating that I'm using free version, which was a worry, but then after a further 10 seconds, it suddenly logged me in with a little "crossed-out cloud" icon, and I was all set. Previews work fine.

This was a pleasant surprise! I know positive feedback is less common to see, as it makes sense to post to highlight issues or get support, but I thought I'd share my experience.

This is good news. I will give it a try next time my internet is down. I have had a hard time with this in the past.

Can you build a project for iOS or Android without the Internet?

Yes, you can, using the Cordova CLI.

I think you do indeed need to be online for the first time all those dependencies are downloaded, but I think after that they are cached and so builds can work offline if they use the same dependencies as used previously.
