I am a strong believer in PWAs. I think most of the apps I use could be PWAs without a problem. I really don't get why Apple isn't developing them for MacOS, since I've never really used the app-store on MacOS and in comparison to iOS a lot of the apps on my Mac are productivity apps that are basically electron-apps. I think some basic PWA functionality on the desktop would be more interesting for me than more advanced PWAs for ios.
I want to believe in PWAs. But in the real world they are just way too clunky. I’ve observed this on both software I’ve written, and on PWAs from teams that should objectively know what they’re doing like Google Calendar.
Exactly. They introduced auto-deletion of localStorage under the hood of "privacy", when it was really about driving people to building standalone apps (and use their store).
it's not working at all. I currently use vscode, jupyter lab and Slack. They are all not native. I can't see myself switch.
I use some native apps and they are great and all, but to be honest I don't care. I want a good user experience and not technical details what's behind the hood of the UI.
I also feel like the stance is pointless since electron apps are here to stay and it just makes the experience of everything worse.
