Description of Changes
Offline First Experience with Caching and Sync Status Indicator
In today’s digital environment, users often encounter connectivity issues, which can disrupt their interaction with a website or application. Implementing an "Offline First" approach could greatly improve user experience, especially for those accessing the platform in areas with intermittent internet access.
The idea is to integrate offline support in the app, ensuring users can still browse core content and access cached data even when they temporarily lose connectivity. By using service workers to cache essential assets and certain frequently accessed data, we can ensure that the application remains accessible and performs smoothly offline. Additionally, we’ll implement a Sync Status Indicator to keep users informed about their connectivity state. This status component can display whether they’re online, offline, or in a syncing state, helping them better understand the app's behavior.
For example, consider a platform similar to YouTube. Offline capabilities would allow users to load recent data or static content even if their connection is unstable, making for a seamless experience. The sync status indicator adds transparency, showing users when their content is being updated or when the app is operating with cached data.
This enhancement would add significant reliability to the application, benefiting a wide range of users, and setting the project apart from others that don’t offer offline functionality.

@jahnvisahni31 Please check this PR and merge this and assign this to me and put relevant labels such as gssoc 2024 ext, hacktoberfest and level. I think this should be a level 3 PR because this feature is completly new and very much needed for a professional website as people might think that the site is not working when their own internet connection is not working so i have implemented that.
If you have any doubts and issues regarding this you can put them here.
