+##### Attributes:
+
+- `isOffline`: indicates the offline status of the application.
+
+##### Methods:
+
+- `core.onReady(callback)`: sets a callback to be called when all modules have been loaded and the DOM is ready.
+> **NOTE:** This is preferred over [jQuery's `.ready()`][6] because it ensures that all AMD modules are loaded by [RequireJS][2]).
+
+- `runPeriodically(callback)`: sets a callback to be called every second.
+> **NOTE:** The callback will not run if the user is inactive or in StackEdit Viewer. User is considered inactive after 5 minutes of inactivity (mouse or keyboard).
+
+- `setOffline()`: can be called by any other modules when a network timeout occurs for instance.
+> **NOTE:** the offline status is also set by detecting the window `offline` event. `isOffline` is automatically set to `false` when the network is recovered.
+
+- `initEditor(fileDesc)`: creates or refreshes the [PageDown][7] editor with a given [`FileDescriptor`][8] object.
