Hey there friends. Have you heard of progressive enhancement or progressive

web apps? Well, I thought of a real world thing that kind of resembles whatthis actually means and what it doesn't. So, you know how like there's allthese memes of like I got a smart thermostat and now it's broken because myinternet went down or something like that and so now I'm like steaming hotlike why did I do this and and we have the same sort of thing with my watchand so I have a smartwatch.

It's a,Nice one. It's a fossil I guess. And then I also have an aura ring

and both of them are useful in their own different ways. But when my watchbreaks or if it runs out of battery, which is more often, it doesn't breakvery like ever. But when it runs out of battery, I'm no longer able to eventell the time.

So, it's like totally a break. It's useless as just like a break on my

wrist. That is not great. But when my ring runs out of battery,That's alsonot great but it's still functions as a ring. And so in this contextprogressive enhancement would be like my ring will always function as aring but it progressively enhances in that when it has battery it alsofunctions as a way of taking my my pulse and different things like that.

Whereas with the watch if it doesn't have power, it doesn't do anything.

It's it's not serving its purpose at all unless I suppose if you just likeappearing like you have a watch but it's basically.Other than that. And sowhen we're talking about progressive enhancement or progressive web apps,we're talking about taking advantage of the tools and capabilities of theweb and all the modern and cool stuff but not exclusively not at theexclude exclusion of functionality for browsers that don't support thosemodern features.

And so we progressively become a even more capable web app when those

features are available. And so in my contacts with the,Watch in the ringthat the extra feature that's available is power. And with the watch itdoesn't progressively enhance, it just doesn't work at all without thatextra feature of power.

Whereas with my ring it functions as a ring just fine whether or not it has

power and then if it does then improgressively enhances to do a lot ofother cool things. But anyway, that's kind of what I think aboutprogressive enhancement progressive web apps. It's kind of an interestingthought.

And yeah, shout out to remix particular for taking this.So seriously. I

hope that's helpful to you have a wonderful day.
