The Page with No Code

I think PWAs are the future. The industry is just slow at getting to it.

It's not that the industry is slow. It's just hard to push PWAs forward when Apple is actively hostile toward web apps.

Still waiting on iOS Safari push notifications to actually work...

Why haven’t PWA’s displaced native Android apps? That can’t be Apple’s fault, can it?

The only people who truly want PWAs are web developers and product managers that do not prioritize their users.

Why learn anything new or spend anything extra when you can just ship substandard web crapware to users who have no choice (looking at you, Slack).

Isn't that like saying only big companies with specialized roles are allowed to provide app-like functionality?

Among others, smaller shops and single-person companies surely benefit from one delivery platform if you ask me. Even if it's not perfect.

I don't see how it's like saying that. Do you think a single person can develop a PWA but a single person can't develop an Android app?
