The (Awesome) Future of Web Apps
summary
Progressive Web Apps that run from the home screen use a JSON web app manifest, a background service worker and runtime caching (examples: cache-first, network-first, fastest) to serve files offline and ship an app shell (about 30 lines of critical CSS). Uses sw-precache / sw-toolbox or the newer Workbox, Chrome DevTools + Lighthouse for testing, Source Map Explorer and code-splitting to cut JS, promil for conditional polyfills, background sync (Chrome only) and emerging features like WebAPK and WebAssembly.
