Demo

Visit flipkart.com on your mobile phone (android device at the moment) and then add it to your homescreen. You can use Firefox, Chrome or Opera.

This progressive web app took advantage of newer functionality available in the browser (hence the name progressive), and now it's able to run from the homescreen, work offline and even receive push notifications.

However you will still have to customize the web app manifest and the service worker code.
The documentation will help you with that.
