As a result, programmers will get access to a PWA Starter project and a new VS Code PWA Studio extension to make it easier to create and publish PWAs to the Microsoft Store.Īside from PWAs, Edge is also getting a few other under-the-hood upgrades. It’s partnering with PWABuilder, a platform that helps developers build PWAs. While these experiences are aimed at end-users, Microsoft also has plenty in store for developers. Other minor changes include an overhauled Microsoft Edge Apps page, a new Apps Hub experience, and app syncing across devices. Even better, the company will make finding PWAs a lot easier by displaying them in the Microsoft Store alongside native apps. It might seem like a small change, but it’s a game-changing feature for PWA users. First, it’ll enable new APIs that allow Windows to pass on PWA notifications as though they came from the respective software rather than the Edge browser. Microsoft says it hopes to make PWAs behave more like actual apps than websites accessed via Edge.
