Web Directions Code ’21 session spotlight–Desktop PWAs. About time.
Desktop PWAs. About time.
Diego González, Program Manager Microsoft Edge
It’s 2021. Long gone are the times where a PWA was only a shortcut in a user’s home screen. PWAs play nicely with desktop environments. It’s about time. The presentation goes through cutting edge features and APIs that allow a PWA to integrate seamlessly with a desktop OS. To demo this, we go through a purpose built PWA that utilizes existing and experimental features that can provide a delightful UX, all powered by the web platform.
