Which PWA features does Softr support?
Android Installation
Let users install your app on their Android device. It works exactly like a native app.
iOS Installation
Your PWA is installable on iOS and iPad OS. It will open in its own standalone window. Progressier shows users custom instructions.
Windows Installation
Make your app a standalone desktop app that open in its own window. Your PWA can be installed from Chrome and Edge.
macOS Installation
Progressier helps users add your Softr PWA to their Docks for quick access.
Chrome OS Installation
Enjoy native PWA support for your app on Chrome OS.
Installation Page
A familiar app store installation experience bundled in a single-purpose page for your users.
Original Domain Installation
Your Softr PWA can be installed from your existing domain.
Web App Manifest
A web app manifest is a basic browser requirement for PWAs. Progressier outputs it automatically based on your preferences.
Service Worker
A service worker is a JavaScript file that runs in the browser continuously even when the page is not open. It's what allows push notifications to be delivered and resources to be cached intelligently. Progressier allows you to create, manage, customize your service worker without having to write code.
Cache Static Resources
Progressier lets you build caching strategies without writing code so you can easily cache resources and make them accessible offline.
100% Offline-Ready
Without full server-side control over the resources, it's not usually possible to make a site work offline entirely with a no-code app builder like Softr.
Push Campaigns
Send push notifications to up to 1,000,000 users in one go within the Progressier dashboard or via the API.
Personalized Notifications
This functionality lets you notify a particular user programmatically. Unfortunately, this feature is not currently supported by Softr.
Connect User Data
With Softr, it's not currently possible to sync your user data (e.g. emails, names or account types). Bubble is the best no-code option for that.
In-App PWA Promotion
Promote installation of your PWA with a floating action button in the body of your app.
Offline Alerts
In-app alerts displayed when users lose network connectivity. Not available with Softr.
Request Notifications After Installation
Progressier asks users to allow notifications right after they've installed your app, which generally results in a higher subscription rate
Install & Push Analytics
See in real-time and track over time how users install your PWA and allow push notifications.
Programmatic PWA Creation
Create new Progressive Web Apps dynamically with our API on different domains or subdirectories.
Google Play & App Store Upload
Easily upload your app to Google Play or the App Store with our PWABuilder integration.
