Table of contents:
On many occasions we have talked about Progressive Web Applications. They are for many the future of mobile and desktop operating systems we have seen their advantages, which are many, although they are summarized in that they do not require installation, they allow faster upload speeds and are easier to update.
And while they grow quickly, they are sometimes not easy to spot. That is why the launch of a specific store can significantly contribute to its expansion. In the same way as the participation of large companies.We have seen Twitter as the most recognizable example of its commitment to PWAs and now Microsoft is jumping on the bandwagon
For the Insider Program
The American company wants to open another way for users who are part of the Insider Program to communicate with the company. Along with the usual channels, will now have a specific application available that will arrive in PWA format, not a Universal Application.
This application has been presented at a conference held at Microsoft Ignite. Through this application, will offer all the information related to the Insider Program with information related to the compilations that are released, events, news, space for questions... the objective is to improve _feedback_ with the user community of your _preview_ program.
As the colleagues of Windows Central comment, the application stands out for offering a current appearance thanks to the use of the dark mode so fashionable lately, it is open source and will be functional on all devices as it is of type PWA.
Microsoft with this launch makes a commitment to this type of applications, showing developers the way forward. And it draws attention, since it means leaving aside and almost on the siding a typology of applications, Universal Applications (UWP) that seemed to be the future in the company.
The application is still on the way, because Microsoft is still immersed in its development. For now, it has only been possible to access an early version of it, so we will have to be attentive to any additional information that may appear in this regard.
