Pls. God no.. Why this obsession with apps when a simple PWA does almost all you need. Apps are akin to what the windows app were a one and half decade back. Like web apps blew 99% of thick client app to oblivion the same is going to happen soon to the mobile apps. It isn't without reason, why Apple isn't too keen with this development (they were one of the last to implement web workers and PWA in their browsers). I hope they learn from MS' mistake and embrace PWA rather than try to impede

It was Microsoft's embrace of PWAs that finally made me change how I see them.

Apparently it is still unknown to most HNers that PWAs can also use native APIs, depending on how they are distributed.
