Excellent solution for PWA !!
Same as your Bread Crumb based on URL plugin... this one is amazing... I was having hard time to go back to previous pages on the buddy press and bbpress plugins, but this solve the problems in a very nice and easy way... the main problem was by using the PWA app, which they dont allow to show the brouser back and forth buttons so Thanks a lot!!!!
