PWA

Definitions

1. Progressive Web App — a web application that uses modern browser features (service workers, manifests) to deliver app-like experiences including offline support, push notifications, and home screen installation. The web's answer to 'do we need a native app?'

   In plain English: A website that behaves like a phone app — works offline, sends notifications, and can be installed on your home screen, but it's still just a website underneath.
