Progressive Web Apps with Ruby on Rails

on YouTube ↗35m

" summary

A Rails app builds an offline-first RSS reader that registers, installs, and activates a Service Workers script and uses the Push API to subscribe users to notifications. It implements Background Sync to automatically update cached RSS feeds and articles so new posts arrive after connectivity returns. The demo wires Rails endpoints for subscription and feed polling, shows articles readable offline, and delivers push notifications and background-updated content successfully.
