Plus not to mention that there is more than one platform to build apps on if you want to reach all the markets. an app that would probably take over 500 hours to build, and endless more to maintain. I know that notifications is nothing new, but what is new is that these notifications will be part of the native notifications that show up on your phone's lock screen! Usually, in order to send a notification to a phone's lock screen, the user would have to download the app. One other pretty good thing about pwas are that you can send notifications to users who subscribe. it's supposed to look identical to as if you were to open up an app. You might not even realize that you were on a browser at all. The whole screen would be flushed with the content. It also pretty much runs on your Google chrome browser, but it looks kind of like an app because a pwa normally doesn't show the URL. I guess it saves me a ton of time having to build an app for both platforms. You can have a pwa for TechCrunch, or a pwa for CNN. Pwas are more for informational websites, and search engines like YouTube. Now you're not going to get game quality apps running on a Pwa.

Basically, it tries to replace having to build an actual app on the Google play store or the app store.

I built a website, and gave it the pwa feature.
