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.
Offline capabilities mean it can be accessed even if there's no internet connection. The saved cache when it was being accessed for the first time will serve as the "service workers". The application has the full functionality even it is not connected to the internet.
You got it right, it has service workers that will do the necessary action to make it available offline...
Im just thinking maybe it works also for the million online gamer's around world that they can connect together somehow even without the use of internet, this thing is need to develop for million user of gaming apps...
Online games will stay as online games, there is no way around that. Without internet that might be LAN gaming. I think offline games would stay offline and as native apps, with online syncing capabilities since that's the norm.
