Which PWA features does Dittofi 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 Dittofi PWA to their Docks for quick access.

Chrome OS Installation

Enjoy native PWA support for your app on Chrome OS.

Installation Page

A beautiful single-purpose page to send to your users as a direct link to install your Dittofi PWA on their device.

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.
