Progressive Web Apps

What if a full blown app experience could be had without downloading an app in the first place? This is exactly what Progressive Web Apps (PWAs) are! These are built to deliver an app-like experience that runs through the browser on the smartphones. With increasing popularity, these provide a quick preview of the capabilities of a business quickly without eating system resources and more PWAs are expected in the days to come.

App Analytics

App analytics help Developers receive insights for betterment of user experience, but collection of data becomes a matter of concern, especially at a time when privacy concern and national security issues are topics of hot discussion. So in the upcoming days it’ll be interesting to watch how analytics are collected and data privacy of end users are also respected. It’ll be worth noting how the thin barrier between these two aspects will be maintained in the upcoming days, as the barrier seems to be increasingly getting thinner with each passing day.

The Web and App Development space has seen growth at a rapid pace unparalleled by any other segments. Consistent progress has meant the introduction of new technology which was previously unthinkable.
