XKCD comics are one of the rare few things that get created once in a lifetime. From being a nerdy and techy blog aimed at the geek crowd to a cultural phenomenon, it has been one of the most highly appreciated pieces of art. It has also been a source of immense enjoyment and happy memories for me and this Progressive Web App is my homaage to the amazing XKCD comics.

I felt that the original XKCD Website, while amazing on desktops, is not really mobile friendly. That gave me the idea to provide a substantially better mobile experience for XKCD Comics using my newly learnt web development skills. The result is a Progressive Web App that you can install on your devices. It also provides users with some nifty little features like –
