I made this app to test what you can accomplish with current PWA technology (especially on iOS). My kids loved it, I hope you do too! 🎉
It's a word search game made with following web technology:
- Based on
create-react-app
- Service workers support
- Web Audio
- TypeScript
- Cypress for end-to-end testing
yarn start
yarn build
yarn deploy # deploys on Netlify https://finding-nora.com`
The results on iOS Safari are very promising I think. Lots of things are still missing, like no Add to Homescreen
popup and a hard refresh of the app every time you come back to it, but it does feel like a real app. It was even pretty kid proof, even though I wasn't able/willing to get rid of the pinch zooming.
