A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

PWA = progressive web app = a webpage-based app, as opposed to a native app for whatever OS you're using.
for those like me who didn't know what it meant
Thank you!!
You're a hero
Short and sweet, thanks for explaining.
Also with Firefox on Android you can add it to your homescreen and it operates as if it were an app on your phone.
I felt like it was too late for me to ask, absolute legend!
whats the actual difference, does it improve the performance/caching/first-time loading speed?
It just looks like an actual app and not like a tab in your browser(no adress bar for example), plus you can access it quickly that way without having to navigate your browser tabs
no address bar is a deal breaker to me. Its more flexible with the browser framework.
Thank you... i was stumped
