About this talk

What the session covered.

Progressive Web Apps were reshaping expectations for what a mobile website could deliver.

At WordCamp Bucharest 2018, Vineet covered the concepts behind PWAs, the technology that makes them possible, and how WordPress site owners and developers could implement key features such as offline support, push notifications, and installable experiences without rebuilding from scratch.

Key takeaways

What this talk established.

PWA is a user experience framework. Reliable, fast, and engaging are the three non-negotiable properties.
✓
Service workers provide offline capability and push notifications without a native app.
✓
CMS-based PWAs are achievable through plugin tooling, though implementation quality varies significantly.
✓
The mobile web performance gap is real. PWA techniques close it for users on poor connections.
