Engaging Communities with Google Assistant and Progressive Web Apps

on YouTube ↗30m

" summary

A working Village Assistant combines Google Assistant and a Progressive Web App with a webhook to Firebase Functions, Hosting, Authentication, Cloud Messaging and Cloud Firestore to route requests, send push notifications and record yes/no responses; a live demo shows end-to-end milk requests, responses and a private chat. Important caveats: account linking and OAuth tokens are tricky, Assistant logs can hit quotas, Firebase cloud messaging requires embedding actions in data, Lighthouse and Workbox (via Create React App) fix many PWA issues.
