  2. An Introduction to Progressive Web Apps • To take advantage of both web and native app functionality, PWAs are web apps built using various unique technologies and standard patterns. • For instance, Web apps are more discoverable than native apps; visiting a website is much simpler and quicker than downloading an application, and by submitting a connection, you can even share web apps. • Native applications, on the other hand, are better integrated with the operating system and thus provide users with a more seamless experience. You can install a native app to function offline, and users enjoy clicking their icons to access their favorite apps quickly, rather than using a browser to navigate to them. • PWAs give us the ability to create web apps that can enjoy these same advantages.

  3. What makes an app a PWA? • As we suggested above, with a single technology, PWAs are not generated. They reflect a modern paradigm for developing web apps that includes some basic patterns, APIs, and other features. It’s not that clear whether, at first glance, a web app is a PWA or not. • Furthermore, such as Lighthouse, there are tools to calculate how full a web app is (as a percentage). We can make an app more progressive by introducing different technical advantages, thus ending up with a higher Lighthouse ranking. This is, however, just a rough measure.

  4. A web app should aim to follow certain fundamental principles to be known as a PWA, and these include:- • Discoverable so that the contents can be found through search engines. • Installable so that it can be available on the home screen or app launcher of the user. • Network independent, so that users can use it offline as well as if the connection is poor. • Progressive, so it’s still usable on a fundamental level on older browsers but fully-functional on the latest ones. • Re-engageable, so it can send updates whenever new content is available. • Safe, so that communications are protected between the user, the app, and your server against any third party attempting to access sensitive data.

  5. Advantages of web applications • A fully-capable progressive web application should provide all of the following advantages to the user. • Discoverability • Installability • Linkability • Network independence • Re-engageability • Responsiveness • Safety Read More:
