Original Domain Installation
Your Dittofi PWA can be installed from your existing domain.
Web App Manifest
Progressier generates a web app manifest for you based on your preferences automatically.
Service Worker
A service worker is the mechanism that browsers use to deliver push notifications. With Dittofi, it's not possible to add a service worker to your PWA.
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 Dittofi.
Connect User Data
With Dittofi, 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
A set of tools that allow you to promote installation of your PWA within the body of your app, including custom install buttons and floating action buttons.
Offline Alerts
Let users know when they lose their Internet connection.
Request Notifications After Installation
Prompt users to allow push notifications right after they have installed your app. Less intrusive = better conversion rate.
Install & Push Analytics
See in real-time and track over time how users install your PWA and allow push notifications.
Programmatic PWA Creation
Progressier does not allow to create Dittofi apps dynamically.
Google Play & App Store Upload
With Dittofi, it's not possible to upload your app to Google Play or the App Store as PWA.
Why choose Dittofi and Progressier for your PWA?
Dittofi allows their customers to export their project code, which is a rarity across no-code platforms. That flexibility makes Dittofi a great choice for PWA.
However, if you host your app through Dittofi directly, please note that the dashboard doesn't currently allow uploading custom files to your domain to act as a service worker, so other platforms may provide a deeper PWA implementation with more features.
