As a developer I would like support for making a Progressive (Evergreen) Web Application

[thescientist13]

Type of Change

• New Feature Request
• Documentation
• Improvement / Suggestion
• Bug
• Other (please clarify below)

Summary

Progressive Web Applications help bridge the web to the mobile world with an emphasis on performance and offline capabilities. That said, not every application needs to be one.

Details

Providing support either through code, documentation, or default behavior, (or all three) would be the goal of this feature request.

I think for now it's ok have the dependencies installed, with documentation for enabling it. Or maybe a configuration option in webpack?

Tasks

This issue will likely require a few iterations / discussions

1. Add basic manifest
2. Enable Service Worker (installed, but off by default? enforces HTTPS) - see As a developer I would like CEA to score perfectly for Lighthouse (except PWA) #8
