OurLocality Testing Progressive Web Apps

PWAs (Progressive Web Apps) are a new technology that combines the best of mobile web and the best of mobile apps to create a superior mobile web experience. A PWA is a website that can be installed on the phone like a native iphone or android app and can be accessed from the phone’s home screen instead of the browser.

By launching such an app users can interact with your website through an app-like interface.

Accessible and mobile friendly

This edition of the exhibition remains unofficial, only a proof of concept, intended as a mobile and accessibility friendly version of the physical installation, with AMP support added later in 2022, rendering original exhibition material from June 2020.

This digital version had been in suspended animation ever since, as the project stalled in the first week – but since I had started, I thought I would finish it, unusually for me 18 months later.
