Progressive Web Apps Handbook
I have experience in developing web applications and APIs using Nodejs / Full Stack Javascript (MongoDB, Express.js, Nodejs, React.js, Vue.js, Redux).
My new interests include - Vue.js, Microfrontend Architecture, React Native, MobX, WebVR, etc.
I put a strong emphasis on writing clean, efficient, and maintainable code that people can understand. I enjoy being challenged to develop creative muscle and master new technologies.

What are PWAs?
PWAs stand for progressive web apps, which are web applications that have some native app capabilties like:
- Install on a mobile home sacreen
- Access the app when offline
- Get push notifications
What are service workers?
They are simple javascript files that run in the background that can do these :
- Load content offline
- Use background sync
- Use push notifications
A service worker runs on a different thread, and doesn't affect the main JS thread. It can listen for fetch requests, push messages etc.
Service worker lifecycle
- Register the service worker file from the main app.js file.
- When you reload the page, the service worker is reinstalled only if the service worker file is changed.
