I am trying to install an A2HS banner and need to figure out how to do this. Where do I add the manifest and service worker? Or does anyone know how to do this?
Re: A2HS (thanks @louisadekoya!)
According to the generic characteristics listed in the Wikipedia entry for PWAs, I’d say Bubble covers most of the bases by definition. Some would argue against Bubble apps being PWAs because they do not support offline modes, but this could come in the future and I’m not sure that really prevents the apps you build here from being labeled PWAs.
-
Progressive - Work for every user, regardless of browser choice because they’re built with progressive enhancement as a core tenet.
-
Responsive - Fit any form factor: desktop, mobile, tablet, or forms yet to emerge.
-
Connectivity independent - Service workers allow work offline, or on low quality networks.
-
App-like - Feel like an app to the user with app-style interactions and navigation.
-
Fresh - Always up-to-date thanks to the service worker update process.
-
Safe - Served via HTTPS to prevent snooping and ensure content hasn’t been tampered with.
-
Discoverable - Are identifiable as “applications” thanks to W3C manifests[6] and service worker registration scope allowing search engines to find them.
-
Re-engageable - Make re-engagement easy through features like push notifications.
-
Installable - Allow users to “keep” apps they find most useful on their home screen without the hassle of an app store.
-
Linkable - Easily shared via a URL and do not require complex installation.
