How do progressive web apps enhance user engagement through native-like features?

In the realm of web development, Progressive Web Apps (PWAs) have become a focal point for creating applications that offer a native app-like experience on the web. PWAs combine the best of web and mobile applications, delivering fast, reliable, and engaging experiences without requiring installation from an app store. With features like offline access, push notifications, and home screen icons, PWAs promise to heighten user engagement. This question invites developers to explore how these applications, though run in a regular browser window, manage to leverage modern web capabilities to meet the performance standards of native apps and impact user interaction and retention positively.
