Progressive web applications capabilities to become an alternative to mobile applications

Progressive web App is a web-based application development that includes the application of the latest technology from a browser that can be accessed quickly into one application without having to install. Progressive web applications can run like mobile applications in general, and the user interface is like using native applications. Progressive web app was invented in 1990. Progressive web App uses the latest Technology to produce web apps that provide a better User Experience and User Interface than mobile native. Progressive web app that is supported by a system called Service Worker, where the technology provides Offline Functionality, Notifications, Content Updates, Connectivity Changes and others. So that in a slow connection or an unstable connection you can access websites quickly and have the same appearance as the last time you opened the application via a Web Browser. This progressive web app can optimize web app performance to allow users to have an accessible experience with quickly and easily through browsers such as notebooks, personal computers or through mobile devices. This progressive web app is a service worker that allows a web app that can be run through all existing browsers and has a fairly simple and transparent process. So that the page that is opened, on the service worker site which is a proxy client that can be written in javascript, as well as being able to cache the assets needed for offline support which can determine certain events to activate the service worker such as push notifications, camera, and background sync. Keywords : Progressive Web Apps, Web, User Interface, Native Apps, User Experience

Mobile applications are an integral part of our daily life. From ordering food to online banking, they are used for a multitude of daily tasks. Currently, there are two main ways to build mobile applications — native apps and Progressive Web Apps (PWAs). Native apps are built separately for Android and iOS, while PWAs are web-based apps that function similarly to native apps within a browser environment. This paper compares these two technologies based on performance (speed, memory, battery), user experience (ease of use, satisfaction), and development efficiency (cost, maintenance). Real-world examples like Starbucks PWA, Twitter Lite, and Ma-Ease (a native Android app) are used to clearly illustrate these differences. The study found that native apps are superior in terms of performance and user experience, but PWAs are more cost-effective to develop and simpler to maintain. The System Usability Scale (SUS) scores for native apps were 83.2 (Excellent) and those for PWAs at 76.5 (Good). This paper assists developers and organizations in deciding which technology to choose based on their needs and budget.

Progressive web applications are a buzzword in the world of web development because they provide a powerful set of features combining the advantages of web and mobile applications. When starting to develop an application, there is often a dilemma whether to choose a web application or a native mobile application and frequently one must develop both versions of the application to get maximum user reach. Progressive web applications are web applications that use the capabilities of modern web browsers to achieve a user experience which is very mobile application like within the classic web application, combining best of both worlds. In this paper features of progressive web applications are analyzed, why they provide great user experience and why are they on the rise. Pros and cons are also examined and on a finished example progressive web app its performance and features are tested.

Growing use of the cell phones and tablets over the computer for humans’ daily life has increased the development of mobile apps. Different paradigms have been introduced to develop a mobile app. Up till now, the major paradigms have been introduced are native apps, hybrid apps, web app and the new trend namely progressive web app (PWA). Each methodology has its pros and cons. This paper discusses about native development issues and how web app aimed to solve these problems. The hybrid apps will be discussed as a solution of cross-platform development problem of native apps. In addition, problems of web apps and the gap between web app and native apps will be introduced. PWA is supposed to bridge the gap between native apps and web apps. The main technologies –service worker- will also be discussed.

App development is a steadily growing industry. Progressive web apps (PWAs) constitute a technology inspired by native and hybrid apps; they use web technologies to create web and mobile apps. Based on a service worker, a caching mechanism, and an app shell, PWAs aim to offer web apps with features and user interfaces similar to those of native apps. Furthermore, technological development has created a greater need for accessibility. An increasing number of websites, even government ones, are overlooking the need for equal access to new technologies among people with disabilities. This article presents, in a systematic review format, both PWAs and web accessibility and aims to evaluate PWAs’ effectiveness as regards the corresponding accessibility provided.

Progressive Web Applications emerged as a better alternative to traditional mobile application development. Possessing the best of both native applications and web applications, PWA also offers advantages like offline loading of the application as well as services like push notifications and background synchronization to enhance user engagement. The paper provides an overview of using Progressive Web Apps as modern application development cycle. We have discussed in detail in the paper how progressiveness in a web application offers advantage over native application. The paper also discusses about the architectural pattern followed to develop progressive web apps to improve loading time of the app. API provided by the service workers have also been discussed in detail including push notifications and background synchronization to provide native app like experience. A case study has been carried out to depict the working of various progressive features.

Mobile software development is an emerging technology and so are the strategies to build them. This paper focuses on the budding technology i.e. Progressive Web Apps (PWAs), which bridges the gap between web and native mobile apps. Service Worker is the backbone of any PWA. It enables caching of memory, offline access, and other gem features. To prove that caching memory improves the performance, tests have been performed. Taking the advantage of Google's Lighthouse (beta) tool, metrics have been calculated and solutions to improve them are suggested. We has demonstrate the service worker and its impact on cross platform approaches and compare android, iOS and PWA performance growth.

The mobile apps have been reaching a huge success on the mobile market. This opportunity attracted a lot of interested companies to have their own optimized mobile apps for all major mobile operation systems. However, these developments are expensive when developed natively for each mobile platform. New improvements done on the web technologies, allowed more features and capabilities than previously was only possible on apps that was developed natively. This started new possibilities on consolidate all developments only on web apps, that are apps that runs on web browsers. This paper intends to understand which evolutions, capabilities and limitations exists on developing a web app to run in all devices. We present the new concept of Progressive Web App, created by Google, in a way to normalize all web developments. It will be introduced the major advantages on developing the apps centralized as a Progressive Web App, comparing on developing the same solution for each different mobile platform. It will be also described the current state of web technologies and in which preferable scenarios the Progressive Web Apps are a strong alternative to the mobile native apps.

The user has to be able to see the information from the server with ease, so the device's information sent from the server has to be easily accessed by the user. The application has to be made so that users across all platforms can easily access the application. Developing an application that can be accessed on all platforms can make the time to make the app a lot less consuming. Nowadays, web application development has supported web pages with capabilities close to natively developed applications. Progressive Web App, commonly known as PWA, allows for the integration of web-based applications with native applications. PWA is a web application that can enable native applications, especially in developing multi-platform applications that can be accessed by various platforms. In this project, the PWA application was developed in the form of a vehicle-based supporting device that can monitor car location from Internet-of-Things (IoT) devices and prevent an attempt to steal the vehicle. Two interfaces will be made in this project for the car's owner and the police. The car owner can access the car location, and the police can also access it when the car owner makes a report. The police interface is made so that it can track the stolen car with a legal approach. The car owner can access the web application and then change the desired device mode so that when there is a theft indication car owner can report it to the police, and the police can investigate it. The result of this implementation is that the user, who is a car owner and police, can both access the location visualization in the interface, and the interface can be accessed on all platforms.

Progressive Web App (PWA) is a new approach to the development of mobile application proposed by Google in 2015. It combines technology resources of both web and native applications. The challenges of designing interfaces for different applications platforms, such as web and native Android, has been discussed in recent years. However, PWAs are a recent technology and their impact regarding user experience have been little exploited. In this paper, we present the findings of an experimental study with 8 participants that explored the aspects of user experience on three different platforms. We carried out a qualitative analysis that focused on the comparison of the user experience during the participants' interaction with PWA, web mobile and native Android applications. Two distinct perspectives were defined to support our data analysis. First, the user perspective was considered and the participants' feedback was explored. After, focusing on the human-computer interaction specialist perspective we examined the users' facial expressions with the aims of identifying which emotions they sensed during interactions with each application. We gathered evidence that an overall positive user experience can be achieved even if the user had some interaction issues. There is no bias indicating that either a specific platform or interface element offer more enjoyable interactions.

The proposed system uses Natural Language Processing (NLP) and Deep Learning (DL) techniques to extract voice data and translate it to text during medical consultations. Iterative model was adopted in the design of the system and the user interfaces was implemented by using NLP techniques, especially speech recognition and natural language understanding. Deep learning algorithm shows a great ability to build clinical decision support systems by extracting various information for medical diagnosis and produce result is few seconds. The result form the system testing shows that the installation size of the Progressive Web App (104 KB) is 42 times smaller than the native Android app (4.37 MB). In terms of render-speeds, the PWA rendered different results. The native app will launch the Android activity after 1408 ms after app icon tap (launch), while the progressive web app launches the application in 230 ms. The advent of cross-platform application development frame-works have made it much easier to create applications for multiple platforms for mobile devices. In spite of reduced learning effort, usually lower costs, and a faster time-to-market cross-platform methods always do not prevail in most cases. Although there are normal exclusions – like graphic-intensive games, which should to be programmed with the native software development kits (SDKS), choice between native apps, cross-platform generated ones, and Web apps can remain delicate. Whereas many diverse efforts have been made with respect to how cross-platform development frameworks ought to work, no technology is deemed unequivocally superior than the others. But a cross-platform mobile app has got an edge over native app development. It also recommends that developers adopt this technology of mobile app development due to its huge gains.
