Subway Reads

Subway Reads doesn?t just offer free reading material to riders. It also publicizes and raises funds for Literacy Partners, a nonprofit that promotes reading and literature. <br><br>The project presented numerous challenges. Spotty subway Wi-Fi made speed a priority. We used technologies like local storage and cache manifest, plus a high-performance, optimized installation of WordPress to quickly serve heavily compressed images, scripts, styles, and HTML markup. To further reduce load time, we avoided third-party JavaScript frameworks. The result was a progressive web app, or PWA, that loads nearly immediately and downloads itself to users? devices. The app can then be accessed offline and still maintain functionality.<br>
