‘What are progressive web apps (PWAs)?’ – Econsultancy
Ben Davis says, “You may have heard of Accelerated Mobile Pages but what about Progressive Web Apps (PWAs)?
If you need a primer, this should help.
What are PWAs?
Simply put, they are websites that feel more like an app.
They load quickly (no App Store involved), can be added to your smartphone home screen, function offline and can send push notifications – making them much more convenient than a traditional web app.
Unsurprisingly, Google came up with the term, and PWAs are seen alongside Accelerated Mobile Pages as a weapon in the fight for slick mobile UX (fundamentally, quick and reliable loading).
PWAs were made possible by advances in JavaScript and web browsers which now support more HTML5″.
