User story
As a user who uses the app's offline reading feature, I want to be able to mark articles to view later when I am back online.
Current experience
- When the user is offline and taps on an article link, a link preview card opens with a loading spinner in place of the lead paragraph, a primary call to action to "Read article".
- When directly selecting to open an article whilst offline, user is directed to a 'Cannot connect to the internet' error screen' with a 'retry' call to action.
Proposed solution
Link preview when offline
- Show a message advising that the article cannot be read
- Replace the 'Read article' call to action with an action allowing the user to 'Add to reading list' for downloading when the user is back
