Offline Work

I will be working on a remote job site in northern Maine and can now track my time in Grainchek even when I don’t have internet access.

In the past few days we completed the offline module so that critical components of Grainchek like posting time tracking events and viewing those events in a feed, can be done even when we don’t have internet access. Part of the experience that I want to provide through Grainchek is the ability to share events with others. When I am on a job site I can share every event posted about that project with the manager of the work, or the home owner. In order to accomplish this each event post is stored on a database that Grainchek accesses using an internet connection. For me it is still amazing to see an event that someone else posts pop up on the feed I built to collect their events! Now, with the offline module, even when we don’t have internet access, Grainchek will store the events we generate until we do have access. Then Grainchek will access the database and update it with everything that has happened.
