Probably? It depends on what your app forces them to download.
A PWA is basically a web app that can be 'installed' (cached) so it can run without a network connection.
- itake 4y agoYeah, I get that, but webapps aren't always small :-/. I guess having the transpiler on-device saves some costs. I guess this just depends on the application.
- depressedpanda 4y agoDefine small? I've rarely seen SPAs larger than ~5 MB. Most of my phone's apps take dozens if not hundreds of MBs for some inexplicable reason.
- itake 4y agoThe goal is to service people with limited space. We currently have a WhatsApp chatbot to reach these users, but it's not a great experience. Not only is storage a constraint, sending text is free on WhatsApp[0]. Even if an SPA was small, they still have to pay for data.
