| # pyscript PWA Example |
|
|
| This app shows how using a PWA (Progressive Web App) along with [pyscript](https://pyscript.net) |
| allows us to create Python-based web applications that install like regular applications and |
| (mostly) don't suffer from the large file downloads needed for Python's WebAssembly runtime. |
|
|
|  |
|
|
| To run the app, just start it as a Flask application (keep the app running for the web weather API). |
|
|
| ```bash |
| |
| python3 -m venv venv |
| . /venv/bin/activate |
| pip install -r requirements.txt |
| flask run |
| |
| ``` |
|
|
| Then open 127.0.0.1:5000 and choose "install PWA". See |
| [these steps for Chrome](https://www.howtogeek.com/fyi/how-to-install-progressive-web-apps-pwas-in-chrome/), |
| google the actions if you are new to this in your browser. |
|
|
| Unfortunately, Mozilla gave up on this feature for Firefox browser. |
|
|
| If you have improvements for the PWA side of things, please open a PR. It's very bare-bones. |
