Where does the name "progressive" come from?
- MzHN 9y agoSupposedly the "progressive" in PWA means[1]: >Work for every user, regardless of browser choice because they’re built with progressive enhancement[2] as a core tenet. But from my experience I'd say they have little to do with actual progressive enhancement, i.e. content first development. One thing that certainly is progressive for PWAs is how deeply the user decides to integrate the web app into their browser/OS. You can choose to allow push notifications and "install" the PWA into your home screen for example.

- predakanga 9y agoThe seeming incompatibility of PWAs with Progressive Enhancement is something that's been bugging me for a while now. As an earnest question, is Progressive Enhancement (i.e. graceful degradation, "unobtrusive javascript", etc) simply dead now? None of the frameworks out there seem to encourage it, I'm not sure if many even support those paradigms.
- muthdra 9y agoIt's supposed to mean that the user accesses a simple website that can progressively augment it's capabilities by installing a cached version, native presentation.
