In 2019 Progressive Web Apps work as native ones on every major platform, and in every modern browser. Well, can work as native. If we care about every single detail of the user experience. Luckily, we have excellent tools helping is to develop, test, and rate the PWA quality. In my session we go way beyond the regular "send app to offline" (in a good sense). We explore: proper cross-platform installability, advanced service worker ( full control on the registration, two-way communication with Angular app, bundling and optimizing), options for the versioning, advanced Push notification techniques, and more. All in the name of making our app as feature-rich as the native (if not richer). Bonus: we'll have a look at the upcoming specs and APIs related to PWA to get prepared to delight our users with even better apps.

There are plenty of "Getting started" PWA talks/articles covering the basic setup and leaving developer with the half-baked user experience, which affects the overall PWA idea adoption. This session starts with almost instant Angular PWA scaffolding using Workbox (that's fast our days), and goes way further in exlanations of what makes your webapp native-like. I see the developers' need for the sessions like this as there is lack of information on advanced techniques.
