A progressive web app, often shortened to PWA, is a type of website that functions like a mobile app. It combines the best of both websites and mobile apps, offering a fast, reliable, and engaging user experience. PWAs can be accessed through a web browser, but they also have features typically found in apps, like offline access and push notifications.
The beauty of PWAs is that they provide app-like experiences without needing to download or install anything from app stores. Instead, you can often add them directly to your device's home screen from your browser.
