Ive read that this project will be using PWA. What is Progressive Web Application? and What is the advantage of using it than our traditional app today?

According to the whitepaper, PWA can work online and offline and can be fully functional. Does it mean that even if you dont have internet access, you can use Yappadappadoo?

Most websites today are limited with internet connectivity. Without internet, the website wont display anything. PWA is a new concept now in web app development. This concept has offline capabilities with improved speed and performance. This will allow users to have access to the pages have already visited.

I like the idea of offline capabilities. Because it won't cause any internet data or bandwidth. But What about the pages who have not visited yet? Will it display also the page? If it will not display the page then PWA has no difference in our normal web app today.

So, basically, the offline capabilities meant access to pages you have already visited? I think it was extremely helpful with trivago since hotel stays sometimes involves planning. This might be helpful to an online gamer who frequently look for the latest games to install but does research before installing a new one.

I think if you haven't visited the page, it won't be accessible. I think PWA works like automatically saving a page if visited and saving an app if you chose to select to save it on your home screen or something, though not sure how that actually will work for this one.

So, initially, I would have to visit the page for the page to be saved, and in any case, the only pages that would be accessible are those pages that I have already visited? So, the question is will this apply to apps as well?

For the app to be at its best, you have to be online, I think. They mention that you can spontaneously try apps and quickly buy them as well. For the spontaneously try, if it apps can be tried out offline, then that might initially consume data upon installation.

To be able to try the apps without the need to install would be a great feature since you don't have to just look at the pictures or read reviews because you can actually try it immediately. The question is what apps? What type of apps? And yes, I don't think that would work offline as well.
