PrimeNG remains a capable starting point, but as your Angular apps scale, you may need a solution that offers better performance, design flexibility, and enterprise-grade reliability.

An Angular Progressive Web App is a web application enhanced with native-like features such as offline access, background synchronization, etc. And this blog post shows you how to build one.
