Agree, and I'm eagerly awaiting this day!

Don't feel obligated to answer, but how has LiveView changed DockYard's approach to PWAs? Are you still pro-PWA? Do you still see (much) room for PWAs in a LiveView world?

We've given up on PWAs. I ran DY as a web-only shop but when I left at the end of 2019 the very first product I wanted to develop was a native app. There's just too many screens now that PWAs can't even hope to deploy to. (watch, tv, AR/VR) So when I came back I wanted to find a way that we could add native as a service offering but not dilute our expertise in Elixir. This is mostly where LiveView Native came from.
