Progressive Web Apps (PWAs) are web applications designed to provide a native app-like experience using web technologies like HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. They offer benefits such as offline functionality, push notifications, and access to device hardware, leading to faster development, reduced costs, and improved user experiences. Major tech companies like Google and Microsoft are advocating for PWAs to enhance web capabilities, though some limitations exist regarding device hardware feature requirements and OS support.
