Problem Statement

When using the android app without internet access, the layout is a hot mess and basically becomes unusable. It seems most of the image resources are constantly being reloaded from the internet and it seriously messes up the layout of the app when they can't be fetched.

❔ Possible Solution

It seems to me that these should be simple static resources that could just be included in the app package?

⤴️ Describe alternatives you've considered

There really is no alternative here; the app should function fine offline aside the sync feature.

➕ Additional context

  • I also think for some people this will unnecessarily spike data usage since resources are being re-fetched every time they are displayed
  • I can't see any valid reason for doing this, it seems better for all to have static resources be static and not dynamically reloaded constantly.
  • This also would seem to be a privacy issue as the constant requests could be interpretted as an attempt to track user behavior.

I am all for it, but the migration route might be a bit tricky.
