PWAs have an impressive feature list, and the site he links to is a nice demo of this.
The main arguments to move this way (which are rational) are 1. Competition on app store (including installation funnel) and 2. 1 code base for all devices.
The kicker has always been responsiveness; perhaps this is a matter of technology (or implementation). People expect apps to be extremely responsive and it's important for the bigger players.
- threeseed 7y agoIf the arguments for moving to PWA are all about improving the developer experience then as an end-user why should I care. It just screams PhoneGap/Cordova 2.0 which equally had the same story.
- ajdegol 7y agoOvercoming competition and the installation funnel is more of a marketing/bizdev issue than development. Being able to navigate to a web page and be using "the thing" is also a better experience of installation for the end user. But for the actual using of the app, we're in total agreement.
