I'm not sure I understand the recent uptick in posts about progressive web apps. Are people running into enough problems with connectivity to architect their entire app around them?
- girvo 10y agoOutside of the developed world (and somehow Australia because our net infrastructure is just that bad), being robust to network connectivity issues is super important. It's also why SMS based "apps" work so well in those situations, as intermittent issues is the norm, and SMS doesn't take much, but your 2MB web app does!

I think they have potential to save the web, by making it as fast as a native app. It also means the app store of your choice doesn't take a cut of your income. https://wego.com https://wego.com is a good example of a production app.
