The modern PWA Cheat Sheet
summary
Covers concrete APIs, platform limits and tooling: lifecycle events like freeze event plus visibilitychange and resume and the iOS restore-without-restart quirk, storage persistence and the Reporting API, and sharing/auth flows via Web Share and web-share-target. Shows Android packaging paths that actually work — WebAPK/Trusted Web Activity → Play Store, example of 1-800-Flowers replacing a native app — and desktop multi-window. Mentions tools: beforeinstallprompt handling, PWA Builder, APPX packaging and an iOS configurator; warns Apple docs are missing.
