The thesis aimed was to gain a deeper understanding of progressive web apps (PWAs) and how the knowledge obtained could be used to develop a functional PWA that provides the look and feel of a native mobile app while utilizing the power of the web. This is to explore the idea of breaking away from mobile apps ecosystem from development perspective which is expensive and time-consuming.

A bus booking web app was developed as a full-stack app using MERN stack. Since the communication between backend and frontend occurred through the REST APIs, it enabled for the development of frontend independently and enhance it with the use of modern web technologies to create PWA.

For a web developer with a fair share of knowledge of web technologies, it is relatively easier to implement PWA traits into the existing web app. From the user’s perspective, the PWA experience is no different from a native mobile app with added accessibility of the web. Thus, the development of PWA is sure to remarkably benefit developers, businesses and users all over the world.
