Building all of our new mobile apps using React Native

I just wish with PWAs ... there was some more love as far as how they're handled.

Last time I looked at them it was really wonky to install a PWA from Chrome.

Developer advocacy at the time from Google was big on PWAs, but they were second class citizens everywhere in Google land....

You can now wrap a PWA up as a TWA (Trusted Web Activity) and publish it to the Play Store, which should make a huge difference.

OH TIL that. That's good, showing up on the Play Store was kinda random benchmark I was looking for.

They are first class on UWP since Microsoft decided to drop WinJS in favour of PWAs.

It is also one of the ways they are pushing for cross platform development on their upcoming foldable devices (Other being React Native and Xamarin, depending where one is coming from).

Yeah I really liked MS's support that way.
