Collaborating with Open Web Docs for great PWA docs

[Windows]

Progressive Web Apps (PWAs) enable immersive app experiences across all devices and platforms. PWAs are supported across platforms, including Windows 10 and 11, and can be installed as apps from browsers including Microsoft Edge, or from the Microsoft Store. Whether you've already created a Progressive Web App, or are looking to get started, the

What's new in the PWA docs?​

MDN's PWA docs have been a great resource for web developers, and we saw an opportunity to refresh them to reflect new capabilities, best practices, and emerging developer and user trends beyond mobile devices. With this refresh, we wanted to ensure new content would be relevant to all developers, whatever device, platform, or browser they were targeting. After all, building an app with PWA technologies is a great way to create an amazing OS native-like experience for all your users, on desktop, mobile, and all device types, from just one codebase. Throughout this partnership with OWD, we wrote new guides, taking readers from understanding

Collaborating for a better web​

A browser is more than just an application - it provides a platform for web developers, which requires learning content and tools to empower you to achieve your vision on the web. To support this, we also build APIs, tools, products, and services for developers, such as WebView2, WebDriver for Edge, browser extension APIs, DevTools, and more. But we know that web developers can only unlock it if they have the right high-quality documentation at hand. Documenting the web platform is a huge undertaking that requires time and expertise, and

has earned a reputation over the years as the definitive place for useful, unbiased, browser-agnostic documentation for current and emerging standards-based web technologies. Because of this, Microsoft and other vendors have collaborated to

to MDN's documentation and browser compatibility data. OWD employs full-time writing staff to support the development and maintenance of web platform documentation, independently of any single vendor or organization. In addition to supporting these writers, our regular meetings with the OWD team and other sponsors also provide an opportunity to compare insights on what developers need, and what trends we're seeing in the industry, so that writing efforts can support the most relevant topics. Developer, publishers, and other web stakeholders can learn more about OWD and MDN and how to get involved in supporting web developer documentation at
