Developers building mobile and PWA apps on HN and r/webdev consistently report that offline/sync edge cases are the hardest bugs to reproduce — network drops mid-write, partial syncs, and conflict resolution failures only appear in production with real users. OfflineFirst Sync Tester is a local dev tool that simulates network degradation scenarios (intermittent drops, latency spikes, partial packet loss) against a running app and automatically surfaces sync state conflicts, data loss, and UI inconsistency bugs before they ship. It fills the gap between basic Chrome DevTools network throttling and full end-to-end testing frameworks.
