Nick,
In my experience, the promise of service workers and the reality are very
different. I spent a few days trying to figure out how to use a service
worker to do anything useful for tiddlywiki and was unable to come up with
anything.
They can not serve the page itself, and because tiddlywiki is a singe page
application it can't load itself using the service worker.
I wanted to make a worker that could let you download a wiki locally and
then when a remote server was available it would sync with the server, but
service workers are only available on https domains and loading a file
locally isn't https. I spent way too long trying to find a way around that
and only succeeded in finding a very deep hatred for the design principles
used for what passes for online security and giving privileged access to
remote servers while removing it for local sources.
I wasn't able to find any way to handle this situation in iOS without an
app, and I got distracted by other work before finishing the app. Maybe
someone else made a solution but I haven't heard of any.
