Progressive Web Apps — One Codebase, Multiple Devices
How to go native in the world of web
Ever worried about maintaining multiple codebases across different devices just to be present on mobile, tablet, and desktop? The time, the effort, keeping everything in sync, all these things put so much pressure on us deciding whether it’s truly worth the hassle to port our website or app to mobile. Most of us tend to give up right before even starting it.
Luckily, it’s the end of 2019 and we have a couple of alternatives to go the easy route and one of them is called progressive web apps or PWA for short.
Progressive Web Apps are not a new thing. More and more sites are being configured to become eligible to enjoy the benefits of PWAs. Since making a PWA from your already existing site requires only minor configuration, there should be no reason keeping you from going progressive. So what is it all about?
