Why business records should work offline first
A basement, a warehouse, a half-built site. The places where records get created are the places where signal is worst — and most apps handle that by refusing to work.

What we have learned building a record-keeping app for people who work away from a desk — offline sync, renewals, sharing, and spreadsheets that survive a thumb.
Offline
A basement, a warehouse, a half-built site. The places where records get created are the places where signal is worst — and most apps handle that by refusing to work.
Renewals
Nobody misses a renewal on purpose. They miss it because the date lived in a file that nobody had a reason to open that month.
Sharing
Most access problems are not breaches. They are the accumulated result of a hundred small, reasonable decisions that nobody wrote down.
The editor
A spreadsheet on a phone is not a smaller spreadsheet. It is a different interface problem, and most apps solve it by pretending it is not one.
