Desktop PWA support for React Studio apps

Starting in Chrome version 73, Progressive Web Apps (PWA’s) are now supported on all desktop platforms, including Chrome OS, Linux, Mac, and Windows. Previously installing PWA has been available only for mobile (Add to home screen).

This means you can “install” your progressive web app into your computer just like any other app. You’ll get the app icon and app opens into its own window without the browser toolbars or other distractions.
