Great writeup Amberley. I must admit, that aside from my blog, which uses Gatsby and comes kinda PWA out of the box, I have not really had a chance still to build a PWA. Gonna Bookmark this one. 😉

Thanks Nick! With Gatsby it does come out of the box (sort of). Did you include the gatsby-plugin-offline and gatsby-plugin-manifest? Just updated the PWA page on the v2 docs next.gatsbyjs.org/docs/progressive...

I went with a template a while back that uses an older version of Gatsby, but I do have the offline plugin installed, github.com/nickytonline/iamdevelop.... No manifest plugin though. Is that a newer plugin or I guess I'm just missing it? 🙃

I need to upgrade my blog to the latest and greatest as there have been many improvements since the version I'm using.

Upgraded my starter theme for gatsby and added the manifest plugin (already had offline). Works great!
