Is a progressive Web app a hybrid app?

Progressive web apps (PWA) are in many ways similar to hybrid apps: both connect the web and native development, but in slightly different ways. Although some of them are available in iOS Appstore and Google Play Store, these apps can often be saved directly from a website.

What is difference between web app and progressive web app?

While a progressive app mimics the behaviour of an app, it isn’t one – it’s a website. It is developed using CSS, HTML5, or JavaScript for specific screen sizes only. In comparison, a responsive site is developed once, and the onus falls on different mobile devices to display the website according to the screen size.
