How to take full advantage of a PWA install
summary
A concrete checklist of features and how they are implemented with code and links: a custom install flow that logs metrics and uses the Richer install UI via manifest screenshots and description, offline caching and sync using Workbox and IndexedDB to make the app fully usable offline, configurable push notifications plus the Badging API for unread counts, Web Share Target and share() usage for sending and receiving files, manifest Rowsie ID to avoid reinstall quirks, and app shortcuts and run-on-startup hooks shown with real numbers like 42% bounce reduction and 10x revenue or transactions in case studies.
