Why Progressive Web App Development matters

A progressive web app (PWA) is a website that behaves like an app. Users can add it to their home screen, use it offline and get push notifications, without going through an app store.

PWAs are a good fit for stores, booking tools, content sites and internal apps where speed and reach matter more than deep device access. One build covers phones, tablets and desktops.
