Bizarre reading the vision for this "ambient computing" platform given that the web platform has already been doing that for years and you could imagine the Chrome team using nearly identical terms to describe what their mission is.
- arkanciscan 7y agoIf only someone at Google could figure out how to put a web browser on a Nest Hub!
- pjmlp 7y agoIf you haven't done so, you should spend some time watching the tracks from Google IO. The way some presenters speak, it seems that other OS or framework groups are competition that belongs to another company, instead of teams that work for the same employer.
- skybrian 7y agoApparently a few of the folks working on Flutter used to work on Chrome and started thinking about what they could do if they could start fresh. There are still a lot of older api's that web browsers have to support.
- IshKebab 7y agoSure, but the web is never going to be a great platform for apps on mobile or embedded devices.
- yesimahuman 7y agoYou'd be surprised how many popular and widely used mobile apps run a significant portion of their experience with web tech. Depending on who you ask it is a great platform for mobile apps (not that it can't be improved of course!)
- pjmlp 7y agoWhile I agree that overall native apps are a better experience, and strive for using them, many apps on the store are perfectly doable as PWAs. Just like many games that people play on the train, which are yet another variation of matching stuff, are easily doable with WebGL.
