A tab, closed and forgotten
No install option, no offline behaviour, and the site is only ever as present as an open browser tab.
MOBILE · PROGRESSIVE WEB APPS
A link is enough. Installing it is optional
A progressive web app is a website that behaves like an installed app: added to a home screen, opens full-screen, works offline for content already loaded, and can send push notifications. No app store, no approval process, no store fee cut on a transaction.
THE RANGE OF PRACTICE
What browser-only looks like, and what a full PWA looks like
Described by behaviour, not by a score.
Installable, but breaks without a connection
A home-screen icon exists, but the app fails or shows an error the moment connectivity drops.
Installable, offline-capable, with push notifications
Behaves like a native app for the parts that matter, reached through a link rather than a store listing.
WHERE WE SIT
Included by default, not priced separately
Within the
Installability and offline caching are part of every build here, not a feature discovered as an upsell once the site is already live. It is how "mobile-first" is actually delivered, not just a design principle stated on a page like this one.

A website that behaves like an installed app: it can be added to a phone's home screen, opens full-screen without a browser bar, works offline for content already loaded, and can send push notifications, all without going through an app store.
No approval process, no store fee cut on any transaction, and no forcing a visitor through a download before they can use the product. A link is enough; installing it is optional, not a barrier to entry.
A service worker, a small script the browser runs in the background, caches what has already been loaded so the app still opens and shows recent content without a connection, rather than a blank error screen.
