Progressive Web App
Progressive Web App (PWA) is a web application development approach that uses modern web capabilities to deliver an app-like user experience. It combines the best of web and mobile apps, offering features such as offline functionality, push notifications, and home screen installation while being accessible via a web browser. PWAs are designed to be reliable, fast, and engaging, working across all devices and platforms.
Developers should learn and use PWAs when building applications that require cross-platform compatibility, offline access, and improved performance without the overhead of native app development. They are ideal for e-commerce sites, news portals, and productivity tools where users benefit from app-like features without needing to download from an app store. PWAs also enhance user engagement through push notifications and home screen shortcuts.
