I'm really excited about service worker, but it's going to be some time until its available broadly.
It's one of the missing pieces for the web browsers to be great. Real background tasks, low level control of networking requests, etc.

"...the javascript then goes to the Wikipedia API to get the data—*plus a few alterations*." Someone should tell him about Parsoid!
Too bad ServiceWorker isn't really supported on mobile https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/ServiceWorker_API#Browser_compatibility (only Chrome Mobile 40). We could always provide our own polyfill in the native apps while adoption ramps up.
