Oh nevermind - now I get it - this would be what the person bookmarks? Cool..

Yup, and everytime you update the main file you just change the {{version number}} to something new. That way ou cache when needed.

So one question though. Wouldn't this page just get cached as well? So it would always be stuck with the same {{version number}}?

Shouldn't we set like or something?
