About WhatPWACanDo

WhatPWACanDo is a website that explains Progressive Web Apps and hosts more than 40 live demos of individual web capabilities, including installation prompts, offline service workers, notifications, file system access, camera and microphone capture, Bluetooth, NFC and geolocation. Each demo can be opened and tried on the visitor's own device.

The site is itself an installable PWA. It includes a checklist that reports which PWA capabilities the current browser and device support, and many demos depend on that support plus user permission for things such as location, camera, microphone or contacts. It also links to a free pwa-check tool for troubleshooting implementations, a PWA Runtime Audit for CI/CD pipelines, and an email list for weekly updates. Pricing is not stated.
