Shared Infrastructure

Good Market is a responsive web app with a mobile-first design. The app can be used in any browser across any type of device by going to www.goodmarket.global. 

A web app was chosen for the following reasons:

 

  • Visible: It can be found in search from any device.
 
  • Easy to Access: Information can be quickly accessed from search or a link without needing to download an app.
 
  • Inclusive: People with limited data plans or connectivity can participate without having to download software or frequent software updates.
 
  • Open Web: Many Good Market community members choose to avoid “walled gardens” owned by profit-maximizing companies.

Progressive Web App (PWA)

In 2022, the software team completed a rebuild to transition to React.js and single page application (SPA) architecture. They are currently working on transitioning from a web app to a PWA. This will make it easier to use the app offline or in low signal areas, add Good Market to a home screen, and handle notifications. 

 

  • Native apps are developed for one particular type of mobile device and must be downloaded from an app store and installed directly onto the device. 
 
  • Responsive web apps are designed to be used on mobile phones. They can be added to the home screen of a mobile phone or tablet without any downloads.
 
  • Progressive web apps (PWA) combine the best of both native apps and web apps.
