Sorry about that, I'd get my coat, but it's buried under a mound of dead spammers.

And I thought it was Darth...
I have lived with several Zen masters - all of them were cats.
His last invention was an evil Lasagna. It didn't kill anyone, and it actually tasted pretty good.

No, but when he was young he was tall, Darth, and handsome.

Only for a second, then some Jedi comes along, hacks off your legs and arms, and then turns you into your own selfie toast. Then he leaves you to rot or for the bad guys to swoop in and scratch you off the ground.

For the same reason incurable diseases are called progressive.

Because nobody would use it if it was called a "Retarded, Rudimentary, Undeveloped Web App", would they?

I have never heard the term.
I would guess it would mean a work in progress. The new name for a beta version.

every idiot (aka Sales/Marketing) is gonna jump on it
could have called it a "Web 2.x App" - same effect,
hell "Mountain Oyster" would have been even better - everybody likes oysters don't they?
OTOH-OT winduds 10 will be 2 years old in April and people are still using it!

So now you're complaining that Windows is a more stable platform than Android?

I actually like Windows 10. I have to say I truly dislike having to learn "New" version (insert OS/Language/frameworks here). None are necessarily better and they are all full of bugs when they first come out. They are just different.
I guess I have a higher tolerance for repetition than you do...

Because a properly written PWA will offer varying service levels depending on which service endpoints it can communicate with.
So, an app with no network can still do something. If that app that wants an enclave but only has public internet, it will still have more capabilities than when completely disconnected, while that same app within the enclave will be fully functional.

So in other words, Progressive Web App is a term that describes some software that has (or at least should have been) properly written?

Not by the classic definition of a web application.
The general expectation is that when you navigate to a URL and don't have an internet connection, you won't have a useful web application. If you have PWA contents cached, you will still have an application that can be used.
It's a pretty fundamental difference.

It was a 'tongue-in-cheek' comment...
Having said that, there are plenty of simple web pages that will not function off-line (ie if you have them in your browser already, they stop being scrollable or even viewable if the connection is dropped), let alone web apps that can cope with the internet connection being dropped during use.
Some years ago now I was producing responsive web-apps that worked even when off-line, with data being uploaded to the host when the connection came back etc, so - as always a label has been attached to something that's been around for a while to make it seem new and exciting...
'Cloud' services anyone? I remember the first MS attempt at this. Indeed such things were already in their formative stages whem I was at Uni in the 70s, but of course called something else...
