A PWA is a web app that uses modern web capabilities to deliver an app-like experience to users. They look and feel like a native applications because they run in their own app window instead of the browser’s window, and they can be launched from the “Start” menu or taskbar. PWAs offer an offline experience and load instantly due to their use of caching. They can receive push notifications and are automatically updated in the background.
