We built one of our products as an SPA (https://usebx.com/app). I have to say it was a fairly enjoyable experience, and our users like it too (they often add it to their home screen and comment that it feels totally native). The only annoying thing was ios Safari, which has it's own little quirks in certain areas (but those are not limited to just SPAs but any kind of website).

Your app is breaking the back button on Firefox beta. That's in the demo. I wasn't able to get back to HN.

Yes, that's something we're looking to fix. I know it's annoying, but it's because of the somewhat unpredictable nature of onpopstate in a number of browsers (at least at the time of development). We'll probably do a full clean up of any related hacks in a couple of weeks and the issue should disappear!

That's a very cool app. I gave it a try when you first posted it on HN and now I'm a regular user! I find it much better than similar native apps, especially because of the offline mode (most invoicing apps seem to lack this). Anyway, thank you for the free tier - works a treat for my needs!
