How to Build Progressive Web Apps (PWA) with Next.js
Progressive Web Apps combine web and native app features — offline support, push notifications, and home screen installation. Here is how to build one with Next.js.
PWAs offer app-like experiences without app store distribution.
Service Worker
Cache critical resources for offline access using next-pwa or workbox.
Web App Manifest
Define app name, icons, colors, and display mode for installation.
Push Notifications
Implement browser push notifications with the Push API and service workers.
Offline Support
Cache API responses and serve stale data when offline.
Installation
Prompt users to install your PWA on their home screen.
