In this chapter, we designed the online behavior for our app, looked at state transitions and their effects on the workflow, and customized Cloudant, which we will use in the following chapters to support synchronization and list sharing. We also continued to refine our offline app by adding support for images and map locations.
In the next chapter, we will talk about the different libraries that are available for offline caching, pick one, connect our app to our web service, and improve the design and readability of the default error states. This will allow us to do another round of evaluation against the principles and set us up to continue adding functionalities in the following chapters.
