I'm wondering if any of the projects y'all work on are making use of this yet, or if you want to identify popular websites that use Service Workers. I know Twitter is one.

I am still working on my personal site's back-end (Django + Ariadne GraphQL), so not yet, but I definitely intend to add service workers and offline data storage (and GraphQL subscriptions).
Not yet, but I learned about and implemented one for the Udacity capstone project in 2018.
I'd like to do more with them, but it hasn't been a priority.
instagram.com is one.
Our site will be using it but it's not live yet, Actually service worker are kind of cool, imagine you can keep your Netflix content offline, without having to install a native app.
I made a tool that uses Service Workers to generate PR previews for a specification writing tool, without using an actual server

My personal website is using a service worker: codeadrian.github.io/ It made the website load pages super-fast after the first load. It's amazing!
Also, my company's website is using one: prototyp.digital/
hey man, maybe it's just me but the background color for your company's website is annoying
Yes, Tooo sharp
To be fair, their hiring page says they're hiring like three designers 😅
Your personal website looks awesome!
I have added basic , I mean basic , service workers to many projects and my personal website.
Basically the only thing I use them for is showing an offline page
My company uses it intensively. For pretty much every new project (we make online shops). You can checkout it here: demo.scandipwa.com/
Browsers, I guess.
Sorry @ben , I couldn't stay silent ....
My company's website is using it at epower.ng and also as a Web Design and Development agency, we use it for most of our clients websites e.g palacioevents.com etc.
My Personal website is using a service worker : veerajongit.github.io/
Some of my personal Angular App and Laravel app I am implementing service worker.
