117: Connectivity "Out in the Wild"

The conversation covers offline maps, provider trade-offs, BLE-based messaging, and resumable transfers when internet access drops. It frames connectivity as a core product requirement, not an edge case, especially for travel, IoT, and remote workflows.

What you’ll learn

• How to design offline behavior that degrades gracefully instead of failing silently.
• Where BLE can complement internet transport for local or peer-to-peer scenarios.
• How resumable upload patterns reduce data-loss pain on unstable networks.
