Standard web apps are accessed via web browsers such as Safari or Chrome, so they don't need to be downloaded from app stores. They're built using languages such as JavaScript and HTML5.
Progressive Web Apps (PWAs) on the other hand take advantage of the latest technology to combine the best of web and mobile apps. They are web apps but they behave more like native apps.
PWAs load like regular web pages or websites but they offer functionality such as push notifications, working offline and device hardware access. Progressive Web Apps are updated directly on the web server without having to submit those updates to several different app stores. The same app will run on all browsers and platforms.
When you build a Progressive Web App, you’ll get a home screen, taskbar or a desktop shortcut that launches the app. You’ll also get other features you’d normally associate with native apps such as webcams or location services.
