Progressive Web App

A demonstration progressive web app that shows core PWA capabilities working together: offline support, push notifications, background sync, a splash screen, and add-to-home-screen installation. Useful for developers who want to try these behaviors in a live app before implementing them in their own projects.

Progressive Web App Example

A minimal example showing how to turn a PHP website into a progressive web app using a service worker. It is aimed at PHP developers who want a concrete, working reference for adding installability and offline behaviour to an existing site.

🛠️
PWA Assignment

A simple demonstration Progressive Web Application built as a JavaScript course assignment. It registers a Workbox-powered service worker for caching, so the page continues to work offline, and it serves as a minimal reference for students learning how installable, offline-capable web apps are structured.

🔄
Updating Offline PWA Example

A demonstration progressive web app showing how an offline-capable PWA can automatically update itself on every visit while still working without a connection. Intended for developers who want a working reference for update behavior in offline-first web apps rather than an end-user product.

Push.Foo - Web Push API Playground

A sandbox for testing the Web Push API in the browser. Developers can walk through the entire notification flow, from requesting user permission to sending the notification itself, making it a practical playground for learning and debugging web push implementations.

Vanilla PWA

An example Progressive Web App written completely from scratch, without frameworks. It demonstrates the core pieces of a PWA in plain code, making it a learning reference for web developers who want to understand how installable, offline-capable web apps work under the hood.
