PWA
(Progressive Web App)
A website that can be installed on a device and use app-like features like offline access and notifications
What's it for?
Lets a website behave more like an installed app, including some offline use and home-screen access.
For example…
Staff add the rota website to their phone and use it offline
A retailer's PWA can be added to a phone's home screen and still show previously loaded product information when the connection drops
Think of it like…
Pop-up shop that can also lock up and leave a kiosk on your street—web at heart, app-like when you want it
