PWA Every Day Progressive Web Apps vs Native Apps
summary
Argues that progressive web apps are worth adding to sites and demos a working enhancement: clones the TodoMVC repo, serves static files with http-server, exposes TLS via ngrok TLS tunnel, adds a manifest.json and icon, registers a service worker caching strategy with cache-versioning and an offline fallback page, and runs a Lighthouse audit to verify PWA checklist items. Offline navigation works and PWA checks pass; the demo cannot reliably trigger the Add to Home Screen glitch in simulators, though Chrome Android prompts correctly.
