Brilliant idea, but it is a bit of a pain for desktop users, no? I'm not sure how I feel about impairing the usability of the site for people whose primary network connection is an older desktop.
I wonder what their bounce rate is for links shared on different devices?
Okay, pretend for a moment I have a desktop, wired computer. OSX or Windows. (But most likely Windows.) Pretend I am computer illiterate family member.
But how would they measure bounce rate when analytics won't work when the user is disconnected? :)
Anyway since we're on HN you should know that Chrome has a "offline" button in its network tab in its developer tool, used for testing offline features, so you can take a single tab offline, instead of disconnecting everything.
