Can you add the ability to upload two files a manifest.json file and a serviceworkers.js file to the location where the website is hosted. (these files are extremely small). Once we can upload these 2 files, we can add a couple of javescript lines to the header of each page, and we can start taking advantage of the Progressive Web Apps (PWA's). When a website is PWA compliant, we can start using local cache so websites load even when there is no internet. In Africa everybody access the internet through a phone, but a signal is not always available, when we use local cache they can still see the website without internet connection (of course they need to visit the website before when there is internet)
Also when the website is PWA compliant, it can act like a native app on your cellphone.I exported a website from webflow, added two files Manifest.json and serviceworker.js and added 10 lines of code in the header of each page, and the website became WPS compliant. No other change are needed.

This would be really amazing, I would do everything from webflow, I had a huge learning curve and I feel very much like developing in webflow + some tools like zapier and memberstack
Being able to publish PWA today is already possible, but also that they can be compatible with Google Play and App Store would totally change the rules of the game, we could monetize to the MAXIMUM our projects.
Progressier works very well, generate a link! Bubble and others already do it.
This is just too simple, if you guys don't do this after all this time you just don't care!
WOW over 5 years and nothing! I can't tell if Webflow is just lazy or clueless. This is such a basic feature that lesser web builders have already had for years now.
Massive impact possible with this feature, with ecosystem players like Wized around plus ability to make Webflow websites PWAs this combo could be massive - please make it happen.
I'll pay $1k per year for this.
I will pay for this (as a freelancer) and the corporation I work for (enterprise) will also pay for this
Imagine how cool it would be to have this pretty straightforward feature implemented! It could have an awesome impact, enabling us to create installable web apps with Webflow!
This strikes me as a low effort, high-reward feature to implement, given the nearly 1,000 (as of this writing) votes.
This is pretty much a necro post at this point, but here it goes: Webflow is the only site builder I use. I always built all of my sites and applications from scratch. Most (not all) are Mongo Express React Node stack because of the flexibility and control and, most importantly, the ability to build for the web and have a platform-agnostic app on a phone or desktop. I've built a few PWAs by hand, so I know it can be a pain, but I would love to see this feature. My clients would love it, and would likely be willing to pay for it.

This would be awesome since I love using Webflow to design and build web-apps. the only thing is that turning a webflow project into a pwa is such a hassle now. You have to either use progressier, webviewgold or any other solution that i might not be aware of.

Finally!
You can transfer you site to GitHub automated, where you can setup custom scripts OR you can use the intelligent prefetching feature which allows you to have a website available offline without any service worker!

Come on let's make root directory access happen for this! Its 2021 and soon 2022! :-)
They should just add the option to access the root directory to make us create a service worker!
