Progressive Web Apps

Progressive Web Applications take advantage of new technologies to bring the best of mobile sites and native applications to users. They're reliable, fast, and engaging. More

Service Worker Precache

sw-precache is a module for generating a service worker that precaches resources. It's added as part of Brunch plugin sw-pracache-brunch.
