Key Takeaways

  • Progressive Web Apps combine web reach with native app experience and capabilities
  • Fabricate generates PWAs with offline support, push notifications, and home screen installation
  • PWAs avoid App Store review processes and 30% platform revenue cuts

Everything You Need to Build

Installable Experience

Generated PWAs include a Web App Manifest with icons, splash screens, and display modes. Users can install your app from the browser with a single tap.

Offline-First Architecture

Service workers cache critical assets and API responses. Your app loads instantly and remains functional even without network connectivity.

Sub-Second Load Times

Asset precaching, route-level code splitting, and runtime caching strategies keep your app fast on any connection speed.

Background Sync

User actions performed offline are queued and synchronized when connectivity returns. No data is lost between sessions.

Push Notifications

Engage users with web push notifications. Fabricate generates the subscription flow, notification handling, and permission management.

Native App Feel

Full-screen display, custom status bar colors, orientation lock, and app-like navigation provide an experience indistinguishable from native apps.

How It Works

1

Describe Your App

Explain what your progressive web app should do. Mention offline requirements, notification needs, and target platforms.

2

AI Generates PWA Config

Service worker, manifest.json, caching strategies, and offline fallback pages are generated alongside your application code.

3

Test Offline Behavior

Preview your app and simulate offline conditions. Verify that cached pages load and queued actions sync correctly.

4

Configure Notifications

Describe when notifications should fire. Fabricate generates the push subscription flow and server-side notification triggers.

5

Deploy and Install

Deploy your PWA and share the URL. Users on any platform can install it directly from the browser.

In-Depth Guide

Progressive Web App Generation with Fabricate

Progressive Web Apps are web applications that use modern browser APIs to deliver native-app experiences: home screen installation, offline functionality, push notifications, background sync, and device hardware access. For most use cases, PWAs offer the best combination of reach (no app store friction), capability (native-like features), and cost (no 30% App Store cut). Fabricate generates PWAs with all required components: a valid web app manifest, registered service worker with caching strategy, offline fallback page, and push notification setup.

Installation Experience: Web app manifest with icons, display mode, theme colors, and orientation. Install prompt triggering at appropriate moments in the user journey.

Offline Support: Service worker with appropriate caching strategy (cache-first for assets, network-first for API calls). Offline fallback page for poor connectivity.

Push Notifications: Web Push API integration with VAPID keys, notification permission prompts, notification display with actions, and click handling.

What You Can Build

Offline-First Tools - Note-taking, task management, and productivity apps that work without internet
Field Data Collection - Survey and inspection apps for areas with unreliable connectivity
News and Content Readers - Articles cached for offline reading with background updates
Retail and POS Systems - Point-of-sale terminals that continue operating during network outages
Travel Guides - Itineraries, maps, and recommendations accessible without roaming data
Training Platforms - Course content available offline for learners in low-connectivity environments
We skipped the App Store entirely. Our PWA installs from the browser, works offline on the train, and sends push notifications. Users cannot tell it is not a native app.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a Progressive Web App?

A PWA is a web application that uses service workers, a manifest, and modern APIs to deliver an installable, offline-capable, app-like experience through the browser. No app store listing is required.

Do PWAs work on iOS and Android?

Yes. PWAs are supported on iOS Safari, Android Chrome, and desktop browsers. Installation and offline functionality work across platforms, though some advanced features vary by browser.

How does offline caching work?

Fabricate generates a service worker that intercepts network requests and serves cached responses when offline. You can specify which pages and data should be available offline.

Can I send push notifications?

Yes. Fabricate generates the Web Push API integration including user permission prompts, subscription management, and server-side notification dispatch.

How do I update a deployed PWA?

When you deploy a new version, the service worker detects changes and prompts users to refresh. Cache invalidation strategies ensure users always get the latest content.
