Application Deadline: August 5th 2016
Progressive Web Apps are experiences that combine the best of the web and the best of apps. They load quickly, even on flaky networks, can re-engage with users by sending web push notifications, have an icon on the home screen and load as top-level, full screen experiences.
To help developers better understand the experiences that combine the best of the web and the best of apps, Google will be hosting its first ever Progressive Web Apps event series in Sub-Saharan Africa. This will take place across 3 cities in Africa:
