Can someone explain the difference between progressive web apps and webRTC? Are they related, or completely separate technologies? I just heard about them around the same time, and it seems like they have some things in common.

PWA's use Web Technologies to build Apps. Remember jQuery Mobile? It's more like that than React Native or Xamarin.

WebRTC is an API/Protocol that enables Real Time Communication between browsers.

Thanks, I got thrown off when I seen PWA talking about service workers, it sounded simlar to the data channels talked about in WebRTC. I haven't had a chance to dip in to either yet.
