Case Studies on Progressive Web Engagement
Progressive Web Apps are able to be put on mobile devices at a fraction of the cost/weight of traditional Native Mobile Apps. And, when a user doesn't frequent the site enough, it simply removes itself from the equation. App icon is placed on the user home screen, just like the old days with Native Mobile Apps, but now, it's way easier, discovering apps on the web! And best of all, Apps are not dividing users, developers, businesses or search engines as we move forward with the future web. An immersive full screen experience offers the best opportunity for re-engage users when combined with web push notifications.
The Web App Manifest allows you to control how your app appears and how it's launched. You can specify home screen icons, the page to load when the app is launched, screen orientation, and even whether or not to show the browser chrome.
