Explore the future of Progressive Web Applications (PWAs) in Rails development through this 28-minute conference talk from RailsConf 2025. Learn how Rails has evolved to embrace PWA components since version 7.2, with DHH's vision of building "the very best PWAs" instead of native apps. Discover essential PWA patterns including cache and caching strategies, push notifications, and offline capabilities, while understanding how to access device-native features like geocoding, device motion, and battery status through browser APIs. Master the Rails approach to implementing PWA patterns today using Rails generators and existing tools, preparing for a future where Rails becomes fully PWA-ready. Gain insights into the upcoming ActionNotifier gem for simplified push notification management and understand what to expect from Rails' continued PWA evolution. Walk away with practical knowledge of PWA implementation strategies, Rails-specific PWA development techniques, and a roadmap for leveraging PWAs in your Rails applications both now and in the future.
