A JavaScript library that makes sure your users can always access your site, even when offline.

Your users are no longer sitting at their desktops, with a wire connecting them to the internet. They are visiting your site from a phone in an elevator, from their tablet on the subway, or on their laptop while they sit cramped into seat 25 E. This is why modern browsers support service workers , a new technology which lets you serve your content to your users, even when they are offline. UpUp is a free, open source project which makes using this modern magic as simple as calling one command.
