Yes, Rails does support Progressive Web Apps
summary
Claims that Rails can deliver full Progressive Web Apps become concrete: a Hacker News PWA is built with server-rendered HTML, a service worker + manifest served from Rails routes and ERB, background fetch via ActiveJob that requests up to 500 IDs, live updates pushed over ActionCable, aggressive Russian doll caching and Turbolinks, minimal Stimulus for wiring. The deployed demo scores 100 on Lighthouse, provides an offline page, and updates clients in real time.
