What Is A Progressive Web App (PWA) - Why Is It A Game-Changer In eCommerce

Progressive web Applications (PWA) have been around for a while now, but only now are they starting to see real traction in eCommerce. As always, with technology getting traction, the bandwagon starts to roll. Many decide to jump and cling on even if they don’t understand what a PWA is or think they can get away with it. What makes it worse is that a PWA is not an actual specified technical architecture or framework, just a set of principles/characterises that an App/website should demonstrate.
After a fair amount of research, I came up with a way of describing when something is a PWA and a high-level set of architecture enablers for building a PWA.

Find out the key differences and understand each term’s key concepts. See more of my articles on LinkedIn

Most of what I have learned in the MACH / headless architecture world has been while building Amplience headless cms, DAM, and dynamic media services. Take a look at the Amplience Website and see a MACH platform in action

Thanks a lot for this. Your style of delivery works great for my brain! Wow, is web development ever different than it was even 7-8 years ago. Next is React, Nuxt is Vue, Gatsby is.. Gatsby? Subscribed and heading over to your channel to see what else I can learn.

Hi, great video. I wonder why don't you also mention Angular?

I don't think discoverability in search is a feature that is required to make a website into a pwa

[chiranthmjain]

is there any possibility to remove ellipsis from PWA MicrosoftEdge?

PWAs are not gamechanging and they don't have benefits. STOP SPAMMING! I'll be laughing my head off when they get banned and you have nothing.

Is that some kind of progressive magic too that when you prompt us to like the video at 2:22 the LIKE button glows in colors?

3:06 More like progressively dumb: imagine restricting yourself to not implementing cutting edge web technologies and calling the website "progressively enhanced" at the same time.
