What is a PWA?
Progressive Web Apps (PWA) combine new technologies with established best practices for creating reliable, accessible, and engaging experiences. They give users a native-like experience with a user friendly opt-in installation flow.
A PWA is a web application which is installable on both desktop and mobile environments and behaves exactly like native apps whilst also giving you web applications to visit via URL at the same time.
This would be used for the front-end applications which are used by either the public or your staff.
Surely some users will be put off by the interrupting request to download, perhaps due to the balancing act of maintaining phone storage or even concerns over privacy and security.
Well, in this article we explore a few of the reasons why companies do pursue this tactic and why the simplicity and convenience of providing free downloadable apps is becoming increasingly popular for companies in a variety of industries.
