Progressive web apps suffer from an ergonomic issue where people have to read 2-3 tutorials to figure out how to put a site on their homescreen.
I strongly believe that the overwhelming majority of users don't want apps on their homescreen, whether they're PWA or native, unless they're things they use pretty much daily. They definitely don't want to install some crappy app for a business they use a few times a year. Most things should be plain old boring websites.
- ip26 4y agoThat’s basically what a PWA is, a boring website that continues to work properly on a terrible datalink. It’s not installed, just properly designed & cached.
- rchaud 4y ago> just properly designed & cached. If only. There's no standardization, no PWA seal of approval. Most website vendors that even bother with a "Add to Home Screen" button on mobile displays aren't interested in anything besides getting a shortcut displayed on their 'desktop'. They certainly aren't doing things like configuring service workers to cache and serve the website offline.
