Try https://usebx.com/app https://usebx.com/app - we built it 2 years ago. It's a PWA, and our users find it better than many native alternatives. I think it's all in the execution really.
- t0astbread 8y agoThat's a cool app but it still launches inside a browser window on 3/4 tested browsers (Firefox on Android/Linux, Chromium on Linux; does launch as a standalone app on Android Chromium). Also (but this is more of a niche problem with more technical users) I wouldn't have noticed it's a PWA if you hadn't told me since I block service workers by default. I would, however, have noticed a banner taking me to an app store of your choice. Still, the app itself is cool though. Maybe you can use touch gestures on the web after all ;)
- theonething 8y agoBeautiful app. Do you have a blog post about the development details like tech stack, etc?
- osrec 8y agoThank you :) Not currently, but it's not a bad idea to write something. As soon as I get a spare few hours, I will put something together. Feel free to drop me an email (see profile) and I'll notify you when it's done.
- graphenus 8y agoThis is so responsive! What stack do you use?
- osrec 8y agoOn the backend it's an async version of PHP (much like nodejs), and on the front end, vanilla js. We didn't use react or Vue as they can be rather restrictive (especially if you want animations), so we wrote our own little framework. Same with our CSS framework - rolled our own, because we wanted it to be really flexible across all devices.
- graphenus 8y agoImpressive, great work!
