Why PWAs are becoming a viable alternative to native mobile apps for startups.

PWAs offer the best of both worlds: the reach of the web and the performance of native apps. With improved support on iOS and Android, 2024 is the year for PWAs.

**Key PWA Features:**
- **Offline Functionality**: PWAs can work offline or with limited connectivity using service workers.
- **Push Notifications**: Send push notifications without a native app.
- **Installable**: Users can install PWAs on their home screens without going through an app store.
- **Fast Performance**: PWAs are designed to be fast and responsive, with minimal load times.

**Benefits for Startups:**
- **Lower Development Costs**: Build once and deploy to multiple platforms.
- **Faster Time to Market**: Reduce development time compared to native apps.
- **Improved User Experience**: Provide a native-like experience without the need for installation.

**Challenges:**
While PWAs offer many benefits, they also have limitations. For example, some platform-specific features may not be available, and app store distribution can be challenging.

Despite these challenges, PWAs are becoming an increasingly popular choice for startups looking to reach a wider audience with minimal resources.
