Progressive Web App: A New Experience for Mobile
- qntmfred 11y agovery well done. even though native apps have the momentum, I'm still rooting for the web to win. examples like this show it's possible to have fully featured mobile product experiences with smooth performance on the web, given the right tech choices and attention to detail
- Cyph0n 11y agoI tried it out on my Android phone. It's surprisingly smooth, and feels pretty damn close to a native app. Good job! Try it at https://www.flipkart.com https://www.flipkart.com on your phone.
- untog 11y agoThe unspoken part of this: very little of it works on iOS. It's a huge shame. But I love seeing people use this stuff - the only way to get Apple to adopt it is going to use it and show iOS users that their platform is holding them back.
- bholzer 11y agoPretty cool stuff. I'll be really interested when it works for iOS as well.
- hiphopyo 11y agoNicely done! Would love to get a list of which libraries and techniques they use!
- skullum 11y agoSome people have pointed out that a lot of this doesn't work on iOS. I'd like to add that it also doesn't work for Firefox on Android. Instead you are re-directed to the App Store and get a pretty strange fallback page [1] if you don't use the App Store.

- shade23 11y agoOn reading the article,You realise how many of the features are heavily dependent on the chromium project.Considering Safari's penchant for incorporating new features,I do not see this working on iOS anytime soon.
