Finally I have successfully turned my website into a PWA.
For those who don’t know,

A progressive web application is a
type of application software
delivered through the web, built
using common web technologies
including HTML, CSS and JavaScript.
It is intended to work on any platform
that uses a standards-compliant browser

It means that you can view this page (or any other page you’ve already opened on this site) completely offline!

It is Cool. Isn’t it?
So how i implemented this was according to this guide. At first, I didn’t understand a thing and I gave up. That was days ago. But today i managed to find corresponding thread on issues of minimal mistakes theme which I use.
It made things easy. All I had to do was to look at Oxyenyos’s repo on Github and change names and add manifest and service workers to my website.

If you want to checkout It is working or not, you can now just turn off internet in you device and try reloading this page.
Isn’t it super convenient?
