Angular Momentum is the live demo for an open-source Angular starter framework. Explore working examples of features developers can drop into their own apps: push and toast notifications, real-time websocket sync, multi-language switching (i18n/l10n), offline IndexedDB storage, network-status detection, cookie consent, timezone handling, feature flags, and account sign-in with email/password reset. Sign in to try the authenticated experience, switch languages on the fly, send yourself a push notification, or go offline and watch the app keep working. If you're an Angular developer evaluating the framework, this is the running reference; if you're just curious, it's a small sandbox of modern web-app patterns.
