Gatsby used to build a Progressive Web App

A developer shares their experience building a Progressive Web App (PWA) using Gatsby, a static site generator that utilizes React as its templating engine. The project, titled ‘CSS { In Real Life }’, highlights the efficiency of Gatsby’s pre-configured build setup and its high performance scores in PWA capabilities.

The process involves using service workers to fetch and cache content, requiring HTTPS for functionality. The author notes that a standard website can be converted into a PWA at a later date, rather than needing to be built as one from the start.
