Description: Currently, Outsystems supports the use of Mobile Screens for Progressive Web Applications (PWAs). However, there is a growing need to enable Web Screens for PWA development as well.

In our case, many of our applications are deployed in environments with intermittent or no internet connectivity, such as ships operating globally. These use cases require the ability to run web applications in offline mode, which PWAs can effectively provide.

While it is possible to run PWAs using mobile screens, the mobile layout and design constraints make it difficult to implement complex interfaces intended for web use. Designing and maintaining a web-like experience within mobile screen constraints in Service Studio is cumbersome and limits development efficiency and user experience.

Proposed Enhancement: Allow developers to create and deploy PWAs using Web Screens in addition to Mobile Screens, enabling full offline capability and a more flexible design experience suitable for desktop or large-screen use cases.

Expected Benefits:

• Improved developer productivity by allowing use of standard web screen design and layout tools.

• Enhanced user experience for large-screen devices and web-based offline scenarios.

• Broader applicability of Outsystems PWAs across industries requiring offline access, including maritime, logistics, and remote operations for Laptop/Computer devices
