I'm making an app and I plan to go the PWA route to save myself on managing native apps. Any tips on making my experience first-class?

If you're using React, I'd recommend using Silk (silkhq.com) to create native-like bottom sheets, pages, sidebar, etc.

Most animations, including the swipe, are hardware-accelerated, and it deals with a lot of common issues you encounter on the mobile web (body scrolling, on-screen keyboard, etc).
