Show error message when app is offline? about encompass HOT 4 CLOSED

Can you elaborate on the type of error this covers?

Coming out of a code review with @ericboucher, we were thinking about what should happen if the user loses internet access. We can show an error modal, or decide that it's an edge case we don't have to worry about.

I see- Most websites don't do anything and let the browsers tell the user that they can't find internet, right? I don't think we need to do anything special.

The thing we might want to consider is how to use cookies or local storage to prevent users' inputs/analyses settings from being lost.

I don't think this is that important for a demo/prototype, but something we'll likely consider down the road if/when we have real users. :)
