Abstract
When smartphones were first introduced and people were looking to add functionality to their devices, native apps were the first to fill this need. Built specifically for the phone’s OS—Apple or Android, for example—this became the typical route for app development. Building a feature-rich native app could be time-consuming to do yourself or potentially expensive for someone else to build, since they require knowledge of a programming language specific to an OS. Alternatively, progressive web apps take a different approach. Instead of being tied to an OS, they are browser-based and can work on any OS. The idea was introduced in 2015 by Chrome developers, and progressive web apps have slowly been growing in popularity.
