Designing Great Progressive Web Apps
summary
Claims concrete changes: uses an app shell (inline minimal HTML/CSS/JS) for progressive loading, favors system fonts and large tappable controls, and adds undo via temporary toasts. Recommends app manifest theme color and adaptive icons (use realfavicongenerator.net), an offline-first strategy with data‑saver and explicit file sizes, cites Twitter Lite cutting data by up to 70%, and validates with Lighthouse plus Calibre. Notes Safari service worker and manifest support incoming and that iOS needs explicit back navigation.
