Description

The current behavior shows that the app is aware of when it loses connectivity. It displays a small green notification (should be orange or red-ish, incidentally, since it's bad news).

But it should do a little more, in my view. I do notice that some views (notably if the main url is not accessible) just display an empty page with nothing on them. I think there should be an image or some text that could be configurable in the app for the app developer to add, as a default.

Research direction
Investigate the current network connectivity handling in JASONETTE iOS. Look for files related to reachability (likely in Networking or AppDelegate). Determine where the green notification is shown and how to extend it to display a custom view. Consider adding a configurable property in the JSON schema for offline display images or text. Check existing comments for any implementation details.
