PWAs are becoming reasonable for mobile devices and could really help with some apps for initial distribution and usage. I might implement the first version of mobile reading within Polar (https://getpolarized.io/ https://getpolarized.io/) by using a PWA. The general idea is to have both a PWA and a native app. The PWA gets the users addicted and then you can have an 'install app' button within the PWA. If your app is insanely complicated it's possible to have your app as just a PWA on steroids (though not always straight forward). We're using Firebase (just wrote up a post about it here): https://getpolarized.io/2019/01/03/building-cloud-sync-on-google-firebase.html https://getpolarized.io/2019/01/03/building-cloud-sync-on-go... ... and the cool thing about Firebase is that there are SDKs for basically all platforms with really solid mobile support.
