As I write this blog post @ 30,000ft above the ground on a Virgin
America flight, flying back from Boston to San Francisco, I started to
wonder whatever happened to the ‘Airplane problem’ (or the
Offline problem of online apps) we all used to talk about couple of
years back.
At Zoho, we have had offline support for over 2 years now. Zoho Writer and Zoho Mail supported offline access
and I kind of used them initially, but I have to admit, I quickly gave
up using the offline versions as I never needed them. Sure, there were
times I was offline, but during those times, well, I went offline too,
grabbing a coffee or something.
My behavior is not just with Zoho Apps. Many other apps I use do support offline access
and I never bothered to use them in offline mode. This makes me wonder
if this is just me or do you also fall under the same category? I
created a quick poll (using Zoho Polls, ofcourse) to get your feedback
on this.
