So if this question is ridiculous, please let me know as nicely as possible.</p> <p>However, with everything moving more towards mobile development, I have obviously started considering learning a mobile framework. And then I heard about this great new thing in web development called the Progressive Web App. I took <a href="https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL4cUxeGkcC9gTxqJBcDmoi5Q2pzDusSL7">Net Ninja's PWA Youtube Course</a> and it got me wondering...</p> <p>If PWA's are becoming more common for web browsers, and they can be saved to a mobile device's home screen, what are the pros/cons of the PWA against mobile frameworks like Ionic and Flutter? And does understanding how PWA's work and are deployed keep me from needing to learn a mobile framework?</p> <p>Again, complete novice here, so I apologize if this question is out of left field. Thanks!</p> discuss webdev codenewbie explainlikeimfive
