    0046: Progressive Web Applications (PWAs)

    There are thousands of applications available on the Chrome Web and Google Play stores. There are also thousands of applications available as a web page or service. What if you combined the two? Well, then you would have a progressive web application, or PWA. In this episode, we take a look at the best PWAs for Chrome OS and Android (since they work on either device). I have 12, count 'em 12, items to share in this episodes Addendum segment. Show notes available at: https://www.pixelpowerpodcast.com/0046 Thanks to everyone for the feedback.

    0045: COVID-19 Catch Up

    It been some time since my last podcast episode and a lot has changed. In this episode I take time to catch up on what's been going on since episode 0044. Can anyone say COVID-19? I talk about how things have changed in my Pixel-powered world, how Pixel devices are used in my virtual office, and then send out a call to each of you to share your experiences. Unusually, the Addendum segment does not make an appearance since this episode is basically one long Addendum segment. Enjoy the show and wash those hands, listeners! Show notes: https://www.pixelpowerpodcast.com/0045 This show was recorded live on YouTube live. That video is also included in the show notes.
