Show HN: Pep – Turn your site into a fast, installable Progressive Web App (PWA) (opens in new tab)

Will try this soon! Did a vue app before semi-manually, was quite a hassle

Our goal is for you drop Pep in your website and Pep does everything it can to make your website the best it can be. That includes all aspects of speed: minified assets, responsive images, global CDN (Google), etc. The subscription covers those, as they incur ongoing costs for processing and distribution.

This is interesting, though. Would you be more interested in Pep without all the additional, ongoing improvements? Akin mto a client side only version of Pep?

Thank you!

Ya. I feel you.

We think every site knows their audience best and leave it up to sites to decide how lightly, or heavily, they want to encourage their users to install their PWA.

By default, Chrome's UI is quite light. http://i.imgur.com/PkWjXie.png

Nope! You just

1) Add a <script> tag to your site.

and

2) Host Pep's Service Worker (https://pep.dev/pep-sw.js) on your site.

That's it. Pep takes care of the rest, thanks to the magic of the Service Worker. Everything just works.

Our goal is for you drop Pep in your website and Pep does everything it can to make your website the best it can be. That includes all aspects of performance: minified assets, responsive images, global CDN (Google), etc.

So Pep goes far beyond just adding a shortcut to a website to open in its own window.

No, thank you!

If/when you give it a shot, let us know what you think. Feedback is how good products become great.

Awesome. Fixed!

Thank you!

P.S. Nice username. =]
