Progressive Web App
Definition
A website that behaves like a native app, working offline and installable on a phone without an app store.
Why it matters
A progressive web app lets you reach users across devices from one codebase, avoiding app store hurdles.
Example
A founder ships her tool as a progressive web app so users can add it to their home screen straight from the browser.
