Turn your site into a Progressive Web App in a day

Want to give your users a great mobile app, but you can’t hire developers for 3 platforms? Or you have a native app, but can’t seem to convince enough of your userbase to install your app? With the latest web platform features, the web is becoming a realistic alternative to native apps. A Progressive Web App lives on the homescreen, works offline and can access most of the device’s capabilities.

This live coding session demonstrates that building a Progressive Web App does not have to take much time. Dealing with service workers, offline browsing and cache invalidation might seem intimidating at first, but with right tooling, you can get a first iteration released in a day. Next iterations can provide more functionality.
