What does PWA mean? After reading some comments I guess personal web apps but I not sure.


Progressive web app. They're kind of like JavaScript-driven websites that think they're native apps. They tend to be characterised by their use of modern web standards to do some useful things, like being available offline, and caching everything heavily to cut down load time. It's like a website you can install, basically.


Googling "PWA" answers your question right away.
