What are Progressive Web Apps (PWAs)?
Apps rule the world. Why? Because they are fast and robust and offer services like push notification, integration with other apps and web, location services and many more. People use mobile apps on their devices far more than mobile browsers. This means that if you want to reach a huge number then just a mobile-friendly website is not enough. You will need native apps as well. But that’s a lot of work.
Wouldn’t it be great if websites started behaving like native apps And why not? A study shows that 87% of the time spent by user is on mobile devices and 13% is on web which means web is not dead YET.
Out of that 87%, majority of the time is spend on Facebook, Facebook Messenger, Instagram, Snapchat, YouTube and Gmail and out of these six; 80% of the time is consumed by Facebook only. You can think of Facebook as just another browser. The time we spend engaging with the apps says everything.
By now you must be quite familiar with the word Progressive Web Apps aka PWA. According to Google, Progressive Web Apps are the experiences that combine the best of the web and the best of apps. They are useful to users from the very first visit in a browser tab, no install required. As the user progressively builds a relationship with the app over time, it becomes more and more powerful. It loads quickly, even on flaky networks, sends relevant push notifications, has an icon on the home screen, and loads as a top-level, full-screen experience.
