Description

Pretty rare case, not sure yet about 1.4 (just updated), but for 1.3 reproduces.

When close MBP, go to another network and open it there some time later (few hours or so) - in some cases app stops getting updates. And can't send messages in this state as well, errors returned. When app relaunched, messages was trying to send aren't there, but works finely, with fresh history.

I understand it may be not related to the app, as a Facebook's Messenger front-end bug. But maybe it's reasonable to use the power-monitor as workaround to reload the web view on resume?

There is a $100.00 open bounty on this issue. Add more on Issuehunt.

Research direction
Investigate Electron's power monitor API and the 'resume' event. Locate the main process entry point in Caprine (likely 'main.ts' or 'index.ts') and identify where the web view is initialized. Implement a listener for the 'resume' event that calls a method to reload or reinitialize the web view. Check existing comments for any attempted solutions or related PRs.
