Progressive Web apps  or Accelerated Mobile Pages  are the norms when you think of designing your own app.Both PWA and AMP have given desired results and are a huge success with Web Developers.

Overview :

What is Progressive Web Apps (PWA)?
 
Progressive Web Apps (PWA) are web pages which are fast and give a app like experience to the user. They have the ability to give app like experience and faster transitions to web pages.The biggest advantage of PWA is to store it like a app icon on Mobile Devices.PWA offers publishers to give push notifications just like a app does.PWA offer the ability for users to access content offline
 
What is AMP?
 

Accelerated Mobile Pages (AMP) are like any other HTML page but  the biggest advantage  of AMP is the faster load and quick rendering . Backed by Google a AMP page has 3 components AMP HTML, AMP JS and AMP Cache.

What do we recommend ??

Our suggestion is to go with PWA. We could also use a combination of AMP and PWA. The primary AMP will be used only to load the page faster and from there on we can use PWA .

 

AMP gets content in front of users fast, while PWA enables rich user experience and engagement through features like push notifications, add to home screen button etc.

 

AMP is more for content but with PWA user-experience and user-engagement can be enhanced
