I'm checking the feasibility of my idea to create a mobile web app and need to know how well it handles making edits to features when the data connection drops out and comes back.  I thought I heard that offline editing was somewhat supported during one of the sessions at the Devsummit '15 but I didn't take the best notes.

Esri has an offline-editor-js library.

I'm using an older version of this library in production and it works pretty well. I had some issues with it thinking it was offline when it wasn't that I had to tweak, but that is probably fixed by now.

You could also DIY it using PouchDB, which I really like for offline editing.
