Progressive Web Apps with Ruby on Rails

on YouTube ↗35m

" summary

A Rails app demonstrates a complete offline-first RSS reader that registers, installs, and activates a service worker registration flow, wires a Push API subscription for user notifications, and implements background sync to refresh cached feeds and articles automatically. Code samples show Rails routes and controllers for sending push messages, a service worker file that caches requests and retries failed syncs, and a working installable web app that survives offline and updates itself.
