Works Even When You Have No Internet

Since data is kept on your device, you maintain full access to the items you have previously downloaded even when your internet connection is lost.

When you open the app, the current feed downloads to your phone. Later, when you get on the subway or pass into a region with no internet reception, you seamlessly continue reading all the downloaded titles, summaries, and analysis labels. The internet is only used to pull new data, it is not required for the app to function.

Example: Being able to read news summaries and see their labels in the feed even after turning off your internet connection.

The local-first approach grants the user uninterrupted access even under extraordinary conditions. The moment possible bandwidth throttling or connection losses happen, the data you have remains usable. Unlike cloud-based applications, you do not just face an error screen when you are offline; all the analysis power and filters of the app continue to operate at full capacity on the downloaded texts.
