        abstract = {In the age of mobile-first computing, Progressive Web Apps (PWAs) have emerged as a compelling alternative to traditional native applications. This research paper explores the core differences between PWAs and native apps from both technical and user experience (UX) perspectives. By analysing load times, offline support, cross-platform capabilities, and development costs, this paper provides a data-driven comparison. We include visual representations such as charts to highlight key performance trade-offs and examine how each approach influences usability, scalability, and accessibility},
