What is PWA (Progressive Web App)?

A web application that uses modern APIs to deliver native app-like capabilities.

Definition

Progressive Web Apps (PWAs) combine the reach of web apps with the capabilities of native apps. Key features include offline support (via Service Workers), installability (Add to Home Screen), push notifications, and background sync. PWAs are served over HTTPS and use a Web App Manifest for metadata. They work across all devices and eliminate the need for app store distribution.
