How we got to LiveView

There's a funny story here. We created Fly.io, Chris created Phoenix. We met earlier this year and realized we'd accidentally built complimentary tools. The pithy answer is now "just deploy LiveView apps close to users". If a message round trip (over a pre-established websocket) takes <50ms it seems instantaneous.

This means moving logic to client side JS becomes an optimization, rather than a requirement. You can naively build LiveView and send stuff you shouldn't to the server, then optimize that away by writing javascript as your app matures.

What I've found is that I don't get to the optimize with JS step very often. But I know it's there if I need it.

How would you exactly 'optimize with JS'? Do you think this optimization can be done to the extent of enabling offline experiences? Might not be full functionality, but bookmarks/saved articles, for example.
