I am a bit lost about what we would gain by adding the parts of a 
progressive web app as defined on wikipedia to what already exists with 
tiddlywiki. 

Progressive enhancement doesn't fit very well with tiddlywiki as the 
framework for the wiki has to be loaded before content can be displayed, 
responsiveness is already part of tiddlywiki even if it could be improved, 
tiddlywiki has always been connectivity independent, in fact adding service 
workers would make it more complex and I don't see what they would add
applike is already true, fresh is a concept that assumes that there is a 
remote server providing updates and doesn't really apply to tiddlywiki
Tiddlywiki is independent of the mechanism used to read it, so the safe 
component is part of the server used and you can't set https as a universal 
component of tiddlywiki, and it has no real meaning when you are using a 
local file
Discoverable doesn't have much meaning for a local application like 
tiddlywiki
Re-engagable is something that will result in a rather long rant from me 
about the relationship between people and technology and privacy. The short 
bit is that in my opinion push notifications are one of the worst parts of 
the current iteration of the internet. Also tiddlywiki doesn't have events 
that would use push notifications without some significant changes and a 
server implementation beyond what currently exists.
Installable already fits
linkable doesn't have meaning if it is a local file, otherwise it is 
already true.

So everything in that list is either already part of tiddlywiki or doesn't 
apply to tiddlywiki as the core wiki. I don't know what benefit we would be 
getting by adopting 're-engagable' as part of the core with push 
notifications other than me forking the project to remove push 
notifications. The same for service workers, there is no reason to make 
tiddlywiki dependent on a remote server and that would just put limits on 
it.
