What if I told you that macOS Mail and Sublime Text was made with "web" techbology? You can make slow apps with bad UI in any language or framework, JavaScript just makes the barrier to entry lower, so you will get more shitty apps.
Progressive web app (PWA) just means that it use feature detection to enhance itself. The most notably features are "add2desktop" and "service workers". "add2desktop" lets you add the app to the app drawer, and service workers lets you manage the cache and, listen for push notifications, and acts like a proxy in front of the app, making it possible to serve from the cache while the user is offline.
- oefrha 7y ago> macOS Mail... made with web technology Do you have a source for this? Mail content may very well be rendered in a web view (which is unsurprising given rich text and HTML are underpinnings of email), but I’d be surprised if the UI and widgets aren’t native.
