1 min readJan 15, 2018
Hi guys, I am about too say how I think of making productive apps that are lighter and productive . For example GTD App , making a PWA task tracking app completely offline and yet productive as an android app will help you get more traction and more installs
Tools to make it possible
- Vuejs-cli
- Pouch DB
- Work box
- Firebase to maintain sync
- Serviceworkers
- Offline Google analytics
- Push notifications
Advantages of PWA
- Looks like native app
- Responsive two fit to any screen
- App size below 1 mb
Disadvantages
- Can’t send local notifications
- Offline ads are difficult
- Encryption required two keep data safe
