Good: it detects when you’re offline and displays a fun error page.

Bad: this only works on every other click. Half the time the links just silently fail....

For me, it always displays the "you're offline" page.

A good demonstration of one of the major hazards of reinventing basic functionality like this: it’s really easy to end up with something that behaves differently on different browsers or just for different people.

You just reminded me that slate.com frequently tells me I'm offline after clicking the back button.
