This really depends on what you are currently working with technology wise. In theory every web app can become a PWA with a simple manifest and a service worker. I might be able to recommend something suited to your stack if you let me know.

Thanks! The stack I am most familiar with includes Ruby, React, Nodejs, Golang and Java.

Okay. So by "stack" people usually refer to a specific combination of OS, server, backend-language, and frontend-framework. But let's try this: for node, there is a handy little tool called create-pwa.
This walks you through the basic setup and leaves you with a good starting point. You will notice that PWAs are pretty straight forward and it is quite simple to make existing webapps to PWAs.

Nice! I don't really have a specific stack really, but seems like node is a good start. Appreciated 🙂
