What's actually involved in turning your site into a PWA? I don't see why this needs to be a subscription service vs a one-off or javascript library I can manage myself.
Cool, it actually does what it claims to.
I just added pep.dev/pep-sw.js to my site and am digging into the minified javascript. Confirmed my images are on the CDN and resized for the device, which should save a ton of bandwidth.
The offline native feature seems super cool, going to try it out...
Sorry, I understand you want this to be done for every website, but personally I hope this will not get wide spread. It reminds me of browser notifications and newsletter signups. Another thing I have to click away: 'please install our website as PWA NOW'.
It's not clear what this involves. Do I have to upload my site to your server?
To author, I added for my blog, https://www.boxpiper.com/. It works as you said, but it slows down the website a bit.
Can you have a look why exactly it happens?
Installation feature is cool. Kudos.
How does this work with complex frameworks like React? Does it manipulate components themselves to allow them to work offline, or does it just check for/cache the production JS/HTML/CSS? If so, how would it compare to a server-side rendering framework like Next.js?
How is it different from modern browsers' built-in `turn a site in a PWA` feature? Chrome allows to install several sites as PWAs, Yandex Browser allows that for any site.
I have only given it cursory look thus far, but I would certainly like to thank you for including what seems a decently functional free tier (IMO).
Love the idea, the second P in “pep” is cutoff on the homepage using an iPhone SE2.
Hey guys! I'm Ansgar (https://github.com/gruns). I built Pep because I believe Progressive Web Apps (PWAs) are the future. They turn websites into apps that load quickly, work offline, and can be installed like native apps.
But they they can be a lot of work. And hard to get right.
We built Pep to solve that.
I'd love to hear your thoughts -- good and bad. Feedback is how good products become great.
