Hi Michael, I am also not subscribed to public-html so I don't know if the HTMLWG discussed splitting Offline Web apps into a separate spec. One of reasons Storage, Server-sent Events, etc. were split out of HTML5 spec is to permit those specs moving through the W3C's Recommendation track ind

The main requirement for a "webapp" (or a website) to use App Cache, is AJAX capability. Without AJAX, the webapp is just like offline STATIC application (which is boring). So, in order to use App Cache, developers must re-design their websites so that it is AJAX enabled (which requires too much wo

IndexedDB would be more suited to what you're doing Nathan, I've always seen ApplicationCache as something to only use on the core HTML/JS/CSS and perhaps small images, like icons (none of this would change often, and would generally be rather small) whereas IndexedDB sounds more like what you did

Hi Louis, It's good to see some interest in the AppCache from the mozilla camp. My take on one thing that "what went wrong" is that the community of browser vendors stopped engaging on the topic, so I'm happy to see you posting here. You pointed out two features that have been often requested. -
