PWA: The Bridge Between Web and Mobile
A PWA (Progressive Web App) is a type of application software delivered through the web, built using common web technologies including HTML, CSS, and JavaScript, but intended to work on any platform that uses a standards-compliant browser.
PWAs offer a unique middle ground: they are websites that look and feel like Native apps. They can be added to a user’s home screen without a store download, can work offline via “Service Workers,” and can even send Push Notifications. For businesses, a PWA is a cost-effective way to offer an app-like experience across all devices with a single codebase.
