No the thesis is that Apple is holding the web a a whole back. I’m not the one that says Apps like Youtube are better off or even good enough as a PWA. I’m arguing that if Apple enabled the notification API, a lot of websites and apps can save money by not replicating simple functionality in a native app. Your arguments don’t refute that at all.
- scarface74 6y agoIf the lack of push notifications on iOS were the only thing forcing developers to create iOS apps, those same developers wouldn’t overwhelmingly be creating Android apps. Where are all the developers who are being forced to create iOS apps but are “saving money” by not creating Android apps because PWA support is so good?
- spiderfarmer 6y agoMost skip making apps all together because they rely on email notifications.
- scarface74 6y agoI agree. But if PWAs were good enough on Android, you should see, depending on your budget from largest to smallest: 1. Web, iOS, Android 2. Web, iOS - since PWAs are suppose to be “good enough for Android”. 3. Web But you hardly ever see #2. Why is that?
- spiderfarmer 6y agoDoesn’t matter. My point still stands. You keep repeating yours, while failing to see mine.
- scarface74 6y agoYou’ve made a point without any evidence. If your point is that PWA’s could save developers money, rationally you should see developers saving money by only creating iOS apps and PWAs. Developers with real money on the line haven’t made that choice.
