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.

OpenPWA Demo

A companion demo for openpwa.net, this installable web app demonstrates five PWA capabilities. It provides feature detection, displays the exact code run, and prints results for each capability, including badging, push permissions, and file handling.

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.
