You have a website and want it to be a mobile app as well

You dont always need to build a native mobile app to reach mobile users. A Progressive Web App (PWA) lets you turn your website into an app like experience using modern web technologies.

A PWA runs in the browser but behaves like a mobile app. users can install it on their home screen, open it fullscreen, and use it even with a weak or no internet connection.

Why use a PWA?

▪️ No App Store or Play Store required
▪️ Works on mobile and desktop
▪️ Faster loading and better performance
▪️ Offline support
▪️ One codebase to maintain

Note: This doesnt mean PWAs are more performant than native mobile apps....native apps still have advantages in performance and deep device access. PWAs are simply a practical and cheapest alternative in many cases.
