Intro To Progressive Web Apps
summary
Claims that PWAs run offline and send push notifications, and the concrete workflow: add a manifest.json, register a service worker, use tools like pwa builder or Workbox to generate installs. Examples include a responsive Comcast xfi site, a 150KB PWA versus 85MB native app, Pinterest cutting interactivity from 23s to ~5.6s and gaining 800,000 users in months. Demos show network‑aware image selection, background sync, install banners, and caveats about caching mistakes and platform differences.
