1.16 Highlight - Progressive Web Applications

Progressive Web Applications, or PWAs, are web applications that can look and feel like native, stand-alone, desktop or mobile applications. There is loads of potential for what you can do with PWAs, but in 1.16 we’ve just implemented what we believe are the bare essentials:

  • The ability to set an application name and icon

  • Enable people to “install” the application on desktop and mobile devices

  • Leverage caching so that the application works without internet connectivity*

*Obviously, if your application has live data connectivity, you will still need the internet.

Check out the details below!
