Transform your Adalo no-code app into a robust PWA
Discover the steps to enable installation of your Adalo app on iOS, Android, Windows, and macOS platforms. Additionally, understand the process to dispatch push notifications from your Adalo Progressive Web App (PWA).
Why choose Adalo and Progressier for your PWA?
Joining the ranks of Webflow and Bubble, Adalo emerges as a fresh player in the no-code app creation space. Their recent $8 million Series A funding attests to their growing presence. Distinguishing itself from platforms like Wix and Squarespace, Adalo focuses on crafting apps rather than websites, streamlining the process of developing web apps and introducing them to Google Play and the App Store.
Yet, to ensure your apps are universally accessible without navigating the intricacies of Google and Apple, look to Progressier.
The inner workings of an Adalo-based PWA
After finalizing your app on Adalo, you receive a web link. Just register with Progressier, provide this link when asked, and voila! Progressier autonomously constructs a bespoke installation page for your application, like install.page/british24. A single link suffices for all platforms.
Incorporating Progressier also grants you access to a holistic push notification system. The system intuitively prompts users to enable notifications. Once done, you can design, preview, and dispatch push notifications to your app's users, all without touching a single line of code.
Which PWA features does Adalo 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 Adalo PWA to their Docks for quick access.
Chrome OS Installation
Enjoy native PWA support for your app on Chrome OS.
Installation Page
A unique page that helps users install your Adalo PWA on their devices with custom instructions for each compatible platform.
Original Domain Installation
Due to the limitations of the platform, it's not possible to install your app as PWA from your own domain. Progressier provides an alternative custom domain for installation purposes that looks like elonmusk.installable.app.
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 the mechanism that browsers use to deliver push notifications. It can also intercept network requests and cache resources. With Adalo, 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 Adalo.
Connect User Data
With Adalo, 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 Adalo apps dynamically.
Google Play & App Store Upload
With Adalo, it's not possible to upload your app to Google Play or the App Store as PWA.
