We've done a massive amount of work on the SitePoint Premium experience this year, but users have been very clear about what they want to see next.
Our most requested feature is offline access to books in the SitePoint Premium library, and today, it's here.
We've been working on this for a long time and we're very excited to release what we think is a great way to read these books offline. But we hope you'll bear in mind that this is the first beta release of offline access, and we expect that there will be issues.
We're releasing this as an MVP to our Premium users so that we can iterate on it based on your feedback. This solution will allow you to read our content offline on any device, without having to download a specialized app.
You can now access this feature in the reader in SitePoint Premium. You will need to use a modern browser, as we're running service workers and indexDB to enable this feature.
Downloading a book is a two-stage process:
- Click the download toggle as shown in the screenshot below, which will save the book to be accessed offline.
- You will then need to save the page, either natively in the browser or via a bookmark to be able to access the book while offline.
Please try it out and give us your feedback. There's a dedicated thread for feedback over on the SitePoint Community, which you can access with your existing SitePoint Premium account.
Keep your eye on this feature. We're working to release a new version soon, which will make it easier to see which titles you have downloaded for offline access.
