Progressive Web Apps? February 06, 2018, 01:51:31 pm Has anyone worked with Chrome's Progressive Web Apps? Apparently it greatly mimics a native app on Android. Wow! That could be a wonderful feature set for a forum. It includes a splash screen, push notifications even when the browser is closed, a home page icon, as well as several other features giving the appearance of a native app. What would one have to do to make it work with an Elk installation? https://developers.google.com/web/fundamentals/primers/service-workers/https://developers.google.com/web/tools/lighthouse/audits/registered-service-workerhttps://developers.google.com/web/updates/2015/10/splashscreenhttps://developers.google.com/web/tools/lighthouse/audits/install-prompt

So the answer ranges somewhere from very little to a lot.
