Did any of you made a progressive web app before? If yes; what were your experiences with it? Pro's and cons?

    I was just commenting on another rant about this. My users are businesses and people who would prefer using the app through a browser anyway and not downloading yet another app.

    Pros
    - Native functionality with HTML and JavaScript without Cordova as added step
    - One code base for desktop and mobile
    - Users can add your site as an app icon in both desktop and mobile
    - Offline functionality with request caching

    Cons
    - it's not an official app so you won't be getting into the Play or App store. I think Google is considering something about that though

    It can pop on Windows store though.

    @CodeMonkeyG Thanks!

    I've heard some people wrapped their web app in a native app (only showing the web app), but the Play store and App store does not allow it anymore, right?

    @unknown That's literally how Cordova and Xamarin work and the stores are littered with those apps. Basically as long as you adhere to the rules they'll let the app through.
