BAconn is a Progressive Web App (PWA). Once installed:
- Dedicated app icon on home screen / dock
- Full-screen window without browser chrome
- Push notifications for sync errors (even when the app is closed)
- Faster launch because layout and scripts come from the browser cache
- True offline mode for status changes, availability, and interview notes โ see Working offline
Important limits: first-time login, BA sync, billing, and new records (jobs, candidates) still require a connection.
