What is a Progressive Web App (PWA)?

A progressive web app is a type of web app that can be installed by the web browser. They act like a real app but is run by the web browser commonly as its own window.

Can a PWA be accessed offline?

Select PWA's can be run offline (without internet), as its service worker can cache the entire app for offline viewing. This is useful if, e.g., your power is out and you have no internet.

How to install PWA's

Installing them is straightforward in your browser! We recommend Google Chrome or Microsoft Edge for the best experience.

Install using Microsoft Edge

Same as Google Chrome, look for the blocks icon on the address bar and click it to install.
