Progressive Web Apps combine the best of web and native applications, providing offline functionality, push notifications, and home screen installation for enhanced user engagement. As the creator of CoreUI, a widely used open-source UI library, I’ve built PWA-enabled dashboards throughout my 12 years of frontend development since 2014. The most reliable approach is using Create React App’s built-in PWA template or adding Workbox for custom service worker configuration. This method provides automatic caching strategies, offline support, and update management without complex service worker code.
