I built PWA for https://talksub.com
Please check it out on mobile as well as desktop.
I spent about one or two months optimizing for mobile.
There are still a few critical features missing from PWA.
1. Mobile Notification - probably the most important feature missing from PWA
2. Navigation / History - How history and navigation works are fundamentally different between mobile and web. For example, mobile app keeps independent history for each tab.
3. Pull to refresh - Not as critical, but people are used to this behavior.
Other devices features and native apis are also unavailable.
For basic apps, PWA is pretty good though.
