What is a Progressive Web Application?

A progressive web app, or PWA, combines the best of a website and the best of a native application. It's a type of hybrid app. If a user comes to your PWA-run site, then they'll get the mobile version of your site, but faster.

Progressive Web Apps are regular webpages or websites that look, feel, and behave like native mobile applications in many ways. "A PWA lets you install the application from the browser window itself, is available on your phone like a native app, and works offline, just like a native app,"

Progressive Web Apps are user experiences that have the reach of the web, and are: Reliable - Load instantly and never show the downasaur, even in uncertain network conditions. Fast - Respond quickly to user interactions with silky smooth animations and no janky scrolling.
