   Something I’m always disappointed by in apps is them not gracefully dealing with intermittent internet.
   So many feel like they’ve never been tested on slow/patchy connections.

   Why not let me:
   🔹press like, cache it, and send it when I get internet?
   🔹press send on a message, cache it, and send it when I get internet? (WhatsApp handles this one well IMO.)
   🔹open the message notification and see as much text as the notif held, & load the rest on reconnect?

     @mattgrayyes Google+ was great in that way. It even uploaded pictures in different sizes. At first it uploaded a small preview and after this the original size. With a flaky internet you then could observe that the post already had been posted with the small preview. And that would later be updated with the one in the original size, once your internet was better.
