Pwa

A Progressive Web App (PWA) is a type of web application that uses modern web technologies to provide a native app-like experience to users, including offline functionality, push notifications, and device hardware access. PWAs can be installed on a user's home screen and launched like a traditional app, but do not require a separate app store listing or download.
