Is your proposal related to a problem?

Currently, when I use service-workers, there are 2 to 3 instances of explanation directed at the site https://bit.ly/CRA-PWA . On clicking,

  1. I am redirected to https://github.com/facebook/create-react-app/blob/master/packages/react-scripts/template/README.md#making-a-progressive-web-app (ideal).
  2. I need to go to https://github.com/facebook/create-react-app/blob/master/packages/cra-template/template/README.md .
  3. This is where I end :- https://create-react-app.dev/docs/making-a-progressive-web-app/

Quite a long journey for learning about service workers and PWA, ain't it ?

Describe the solution you'd like

Just have a new link that gets redirected there. Plain and easy.

Describe alternatives you've considered

Only thought about the previous part to be honest.

Additional context

I know this is not quite much, but every site redirection adds to the frustration levels, sometimes, especially in regions where the connectivity isn't good. Please let me know if I can help out.

I wonder if whoever created the bit.ly link has an account and can update it to go somewhere else. It still links to the facebookincubator org: https://bitly.com/CRA-PWA+

Otherwise we can just create a new shortened link... maybe a fb.me link like React itself uses.

Yes. That's what even I suggested. Like update the PWA links. If the owner isn't active, we can have a new one.

Looks like the PWA stuff was moved to a separate repo (#9349), and the link in the new repo (https://cra.link/PWA) goes to the right place. Closing this out.
