I have literally never had a worse experience developing than with serviceworkers.

Accidentally cache your index.js file? You are now stuck with your serviceworker forever (unless you do some chrome voodoo).

The promise is there, but it’s just a gigantic footgun.



If you build your SPA to an index.js file and serve it without a timestamp you're screwed when it gets cached too.


Not nearly as much since every browser has a variety of ways to perform a cache refresh.

Any issue with webworkers is almost by necessity opaque.
