A Progressive Web App is a modern website that is designed to offer an app-like experience. By leveraging web technologies, especially the Service Worker, a PWA can provide features traditionally associated with native mobile apps, such as offline functionality, push notifications, and the ability to be "installed" on a device's home screen.
