## Offline Support
This app uses [Workbox](https://workboxjs.org/) to generate a service worker as part of the build step to load quickly and work offline.
## Manifest
With Chromium based browsers for Android (Chrome, Opera, etc...), Angular 2 HN includes a Web App Manifest that allows you to install to your homescreen.

## Themes
Built in theme engine!
Current themes:
* Default
* Night
* Black (AMOLED)
More to come!
## Areas of improvement
- Realtime updating using the Firebase SDK (may need to add option to settings so service worker can still rely on REST endpoints)
- Server side rendering
Feel free to send me feedback on [twitter](https://twitter.com/hdjirdeh) or [file an issue](https://github.com/hdjirdeh/angular2-hn/issues/new)! Feature requests are always welcome.
## Build process
Note: This project has been ejected (with AOT + production settings) in order to customize Webpack configurations.
- Clone or download the repo
- `npm install`
- `npm start` to run the application with webpack-dev-server or `npm build` to kick off a fresh build and update the output directory (`dist/`)
Note: Any Service Worker changes will not be reflected when you run the application locally in development. To test service worker changes:
- `npm build`
- `npm run precache` to generate the service worker file
- `npm run static-serve` to load the application along with the service worker asset using [live-server](https://github.com/tapio/live-server)
