✅ This has been completed, though it's not a 1:1 copy as the various config pages have been kept on the same URL nesting level for better UX, i.e. so users don't have to go up or down a level/category just to see certain local task tabs.

✅ This has been upped to 1000 kilobytes based on the current median size in the referenced link.

Drupal core issue 📌 Exception in EarlyRenderingControllerWrapperSubscriber is a DX nightmare, remove it Needs work

✅ This seems to work fine now and was likely a quirk of not starting with the 8.x-1.x branch before running updates.

Nice to have

❌ Add configurable path to Workbox library.

✅

❌ Convert _template.js into a Twig template similar to what Drush does with their generators.

This is more complicated than it first seemed as the Drupal twig.engine hard codes .html.twig and assumptions that the output will be HTML rather than anything else.
See also the twig service which may be worth investigating.
See this Drupal Slack question as well.

❌ Convert the asset cache config (pwa.config.cache_assets) to Configuration Entities → ?

Pro: could make things easier long term and allow more customization/alteration opportunities.
Con: might be overkill if we never add more than the four types we have now.

❌ Use the Symfony Validator for various things by implementing validation plug-ins → :

Original summary by ChristophWeber:

We (the team at Achieve Internet) have been researching tooling for Progressive Web Apps and looked into Google's Workbox library.
In our minds using a library that is widely used to support the basic functions of a PWA would make a lot of sense.
If anyone is interested we can share more about our experience, and of course we are curious what others think.

Settings this Major, as it's supposed to fix a lot of other issues and save us some (or not). But at least we should not first fix other code that's then replaced by this.

Google Workbox looks very useful for all Serviceworker functionality.
