Progressive web apps combine the reach of the web with the user experience of native apps by being capable, reliable, and installable.
Initial PWA adoption was hindered by missing native capabilities, difficult-to-use service workers, and a poor installation experience.
Project Fugu is closing the capability gap with native apps by introducing APIs for push notifications, app badging, file system access, and background tasks.
Mature service worker support, tools like Workbox, and the app shell model enable developers to build fast, offline-first PWAs with improved accessibility.
Developers can now control the installation flow, customize launch screens, and achieve deeper system integration through Web APKs and app store distribution.
The next evolution of PWAs depends on addressing the significant feature gap between platforms, particularly the limited support on iOS.
The discussion covers the biggest cons of PWAs, handling Apple's limited API support, and choosing between PWAs and React Native.
