PWABuilder has several opportunities to improve the developer experience to ensure developers are successful in their journey of creating and publishing PWA.

  • Minimize the number of issues users run into when packaging PWAs. Today we get dozens of issues a week from users who are unable to package their apps because of issue with their manifest. These issues require someone from our team to look at their manifest, where the majority of issues are an obvious typo or type mismatch in their manifest.
  • Share the same editing and creation experience across all PWA Builder tools. Today, PWABuilder.com and PWA Studio have separate implementations of manifest editing and validation tools. Those tools should be factored out into a shared library, allowing us to reuse code and build additional tools faster
  • Educate developers on best practices, new features, and upcoming standards directly in the dev tools by keeping strict type validation, clear error messages with plan of action, and links to rich documentation. This will help developers add features to their manifest they might not have before, and feel confident about building a manifest that will work when they are packaging their PWAs
