>Announcements and discussions on hot topics impacting the greater web community at the event included Google’s Privacy Sandbox initiative, improvements to Core Web Vitals and performance tools, and new APIs for Progressive Web Apps (PWAs).
Stop trying to make PWAs happen. It's not going to happen.
- chrischapman 5y agoIt's somewhat off topic but why do you say this? Is it the 'progressive' issue or the 'web app' issue. My view is that a browser is a really good way to deliver applications - in fact, I prefer them to any other form of application. I'm not too hung up on the whole 'progressive' thing these days but a NoJS application still has it's benefits.
- CRConrad 5y ago> Is it the 'progressive' issue or the 'web app' issue[?] For me: Both. > My view is that a browser is a really good way to deliver applications - in fact, I prefer them to any other form of application. Eeurgh.
- ramesh31 5y ago>It's somewhat off topic but why do you say this? Is it the 'progressive' issue or the 'web app' issue. It's the Google issue. They've been shoving these APIs down our throats trying to make it happen solely to build up the Chrome ecosystem. Firefox does not and will not ever support them, and they will never become an actual web standard, although Google has tried to present it as such.
- joshuamorton 5y agoFirefox does support them though (but only on mobile), which makes it seem like there isn't a principled argument against them
