Install and work offline

Rejarsume is a website that can also be installed, and that keeps a copy of itself on your device. Together they mean it opens and runs with no network. Your resumes are in the browser either way, and changes made offline go to your account when you reconnect, so what offline depends on is the app itself.

Installing#

Under Settings, Install on this device says where things stand:

• If the browser has offered to install it, Install Rejarsume is there. Installing puts Rejarsume in your dock, taskbar or home screen, with a window of its own and no address bar. It opens at your resumes and not at the landing page. Nothing is uploaded, and nothing changes about where your data is kept.
• If it is installed, the page says so, and that it is running in its own window.
• If the browser has not offered, the page says so. Where installing is supported the address bar carries an install icon, and on an iPhone or iPad it is Share, then Add to Home Screen.

Installing is optional. Offline works in a normal tab as well.

Whether it is cached#

The same section says whether the app is stored on this device:

• It is cached, so it opens and runs with no network at all.
• It has just been cached, and the next time it is opened it will work with no network.
• It is not cached yet, so opening it still needs a connection. Your resumes are stored here either way. A copy is not kept when running the app in development.

How the copy is kept#

Rejarsume uses a service worker, which is a small script the browser runs to answer requests from its cache. It follows four rules:

• A page is fetched from the network first, so a new version arrives on your first visit after it is released, and the cached page is used only when the network is not there.
• The app's scripts and styles have names that change when their contents change, so they are kept and reused without asking.
• The icons and the app's manifest, and the docs' search index and page data, are shown from the cache and refreshed in the background.
• It does not take over a page that is already open, or replace what a running page was using. An update waits for the next time you open the app.

Offline in the docs#

Only what you have opened is kept. A docs page you have visited opens offline, and search works offline once you have searched. A docs page you never opened cannot be fetched with no network, so it takes you to the docs home for that language when that was opened. The Markdown copies of pages, llms.txt and the assistant connection are never kept, because they are for tools and need the network.

Leaving no trace#

Clearing the browser's site data for Rejarsume removes the cached app and your resumes together. Make a backup first. See Backup and restore.
