II- Properties of Progressive Web Applications <\/h2>\n\n\n\n
PWAs have plenty properties. They are: <\/p>\n\n\n\n
1- Reliable<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
A PWA should launch and give users meaningful content regardless of network conditions. The level of offline functionality will depend on the application \u2013 some applications will be able to function completely offline. Others will display meaningful placeholder data informing the user that they are offline. In no case should the application break or become unresponsive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
2- Responsive<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
Progressive Web Applications should be able to adapt to different screen sizes and orientations. That will ensure that the user experience is great for all users. A good responsive design helps to ensure that your application will continue to work with new devices in the future.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
3- Engaging<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
Traditionally, native applications have been much more engaging than web applications. Having an icon on the home screen makes it easy to get into the app. Push notifications can help alert the user of important information that requires their attention. With Progressive Web Applications, users can now get the same benefits with web apps.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
4- Secure<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
Progressive Web Apps are secure by default. The technologies powering PWA require apps to be served over HTTPS to work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
III- Importance of building a PWA<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
For many companies, especially those building apps for internal use, the cost of developing, testing, and maintaining applications for several platforms is unreasonable. Gartner for example predicts that by next year, up to 20% of companies will abandon their native mobile applications. Instead, they believe that PWA will become a more viable alternative to them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
