A Progressive Web App (PWA) is a web application that provides a native app-like experience using modern web capabilities. PWAs combine the best of web and mobile apps: they're installable, work offline, send push notifications, and provide fast loading. Built with service workers for caching, web app manifests for installation, and responsive design for all devices, PWAs eliminate the need for separate mobile app development while providing cross-platform compatibility. They can be discovered through search engines and don't require app store approval.
