Site in a kind of app [duplicate]

0

I'm curious, an operator in Portugal (MEO) has created a kind of application where we can access the client area, but instead of installing it, in the browser we log in and click on the button "Add to main screen "and he creates a direct access icon on his mobile phone, but unlike my sites when I click on this button, it generates an icon in it, but when I open the browser bar appears and in MEO it does not happen anymore when we see the apps open instead of the name of the browser appears "My MEO"

How do I make this type of site?

This is called PWA (Progressive Web App), a set of techniques for developing Web applications that progressively add functionality that was once only possible in native apps, it unified the best of the web with the best of a native application.

Advantages:

  • Fast
  • Secure
  • Envelope
  • Responsive
  • Uses less data
  • No network connection required (after installed)
  • You do not need an app store or download or upgrade
  • A single source code for all systems (desktop, tablet and mobile)

Disadvantages:

  • PWAs do not yet have complete control over device hardware: bluetooth, contact list, and NFC are some examples of features that can not be accessed by Progressive Web Apps
  • Although Google, Microsoft and Mozilla are betting high on PWAs, Apple is not yet. There are still two important features not supported by Safari: push notifications and offline operation. But Apple is already considering implementing the PWAs, even though it may not have much choice.
