  • Some issues are solvable with better architecture but developers don’t make money on it, many only build for the landlords. Stuff like good soundproofing between separate units, both a lift and multiple staircases in bigger buildings, visual variation between buildings or parts of buildings so people don’t get lost or stir crazy, outdoor spaces with both vegetation and useable areas.

    Depends on your city, but many need more medium-density, not go straight from terraced housing to seven floor buildings.


  • I do get the appeal of things needing to work without internet, but it seems very broad as a category. People use webapps for things that used to be local, like Office 365 or Figma, or even searching in Google to do arithmetic, so the calculator app is offline first.

    On mobile I think a more reasonable example is offline maps, I use OSMand myself but recommend Organic Maps to less technical people.

    About offpunk, all browsers used to have that. Firefox still has the “work offline” option in the file menu. In offline mode you can go to any webpage that you visited while online.
