I recently had to develop a quick PWA for a small conference. I had no serious web-development experience prior (i know the basic of js, HTML and CSS) and decided to use ionic. I expected a lot of struggle, but I was seriously surprised, it was really easy. I can definitly recommend ionic if you want something app-like!

It's all open-source: https://github.com/hackundsoehne/talKIT-Event-App beware, I was under a lot of pressure and often it's quick an dirty.

I built the whole thing in 2-3 days, including the backend.

Thanks for sharing. We also started building PWAs for events recently and we think it's a very good use case. There is too much money spent on event native apps these days by organizers and those native apps are typically uninstalled after the event is over.
