I love the PWA concept and it's a great way for smaller web apps to grab some of the share for the user's time without having to compete in an app market. Because it is progressive, it is supposed to work no matter what browser is used, but the challenge or frustrating part is that you can't control which browser the user is on so the level and depth of PWA support is not predictable. My personal portfolio is a PWA (just for fun) and doesn't tap into any native mobile features like camera, but the offline access and caching alone is pretty awesome. Nice article and well written!
