Progressive Web Apps (PWA)

A Progressive web app (PWA) is a web application that uses modern web features to provide users with an application-like experience (ie, iOS, Android, etc.). It combines the features offered by most modern browsers with the benefits of the mobile experience, native features of mobile devices.

The choice of decoupling

The advantages of PWA: 

  • It is Progressive - works on all browsers;
  • It is Responsive - adapts to all screen resolutions;
  • It is independent of the connection;
  • It is constantly updated;
  • It is secure;
  • It is installable and shareable;
  • It facilitates re-engagement;
  • it avoids the different blinds!

At bluedrop.fr, we like Contenta, a Drupal 8 distribution that facilitates the display of content. We like ReactJS and GatsbyJS, depending on the projects, to animate and build the interfaces.
