Our first #io19 live blogged session is case studies for Progressive Web Apps (PWAs) from Twitter, Times Internet of India, and Hulu
Our first live blog of 2019 was focused on Progressive Web Apps (PWAs). Several of the sessions I live blogged last year was also about PWAs. A Progressive Web App is all about bridging the gap between a web page and a native application. Case Studies from Twitter, Hulu, and the Times Internet of India show how some of the most heavily trafficked websites in the world improved their user experiences by implementing PWAs. Check out the video below or read our notes and check out our photos in the transcript below.
