The New Mobile Web: Service Worker, Push, and App Manifests
summary
Browsers add concrete APIs: Service Worker lets a domain run a background proxy, use the caches API to prefill files and intercept fetches (the demo works with seven lines of code), Push uses a browser push service and cryptographic subscription URLs with TTL set (example uses TTL=60 seconds), and App Manifests supply icons/start_url/display modes; examples include an offline Pokemon demo served from cache and Flipkart launched standalone from the home screen.
