01 · The problem

Business and technical context

The existing website needed a mobile-friendly install path and notification support without the scope, publishing process, or maintenance burden of a new native application.

02 · The solution

Implementation approach

I prepared the supplied brand assets, configured the manifest and service-worker behavior, connected the supported notification flow, and verified installation and core website behavior from the PWA surface.

03 · Key functionality

What I delivered

01

Installable web-app manifest and application identity.

02

Service-worker setup for supported PWA behavior.

03

Notification permission and delivery workflow.

04

Use of the existing responsive WoWonder website as the application surface.

05

Installation without a marketplace publishing requirement.

04 · Constraints

Important challenges

Keeping cached resources compatible with an actively updated website.

Handling browser-specific installation and notification permissions.

Setting accurate expectations about PWA and native-app differences.
