During the COVID-19 crisis, the Ionic community has actively developed a variety of Progressive Web Apps (PWAs) to provide valuable resources and information to the public. Developers across the globe, from the United States to South Africa, have created apps to track the outbreak, manage stress and anxiety, and offer practical solutions like handwashing games and pantry storage tools. Many of these projects are open source, allowing for collaboration and rapid deployment outside traditional app stores, which faced delays and restrictions. The community's response highlights the significance of PWAs in disseminating critical information swiftly and efficiently, with Ionic facilitating this web-first approach. The efforts of these developers underscore the potential for PWAs to drive innovation and connectivity during challenging times.
