Offline capability consideration #162

Is offline-capability (i.e. download book for offline reading) a considered feature for Thorium Web?

From my brief look at the source code, it feels like the architecture is catered towards online-only (which sorta makes sense given it's built on next.js).

In an idealistic world, reading is something that should work without internet access. A common daily example is being able to read on a tube/train without internet connectivity. And being able to do that all in a web browser without having ever downloaded a native app would be incredibly awesome! Though obviously a lot of work - we use service workers for offline caching a lot at my job, and it isn't common thing done at all it seems.

Forgive me if I'm missed something obvious, and please don't take this as a criticism! What you're building here is fantastic, I only learnt of readium recently, you're doing great work.
