The following was an interesting sleight of hand to me:
> A PWA can’t read your phone’s contacts, send SMS on your behalf, or access any of your phone’s features that could expose your private information.
Seems almost like a win, right?
But repeat just this part in isolation:
> or access any of your phone’s features
You’re phone has a lot of features that are either unavailable or clunky to use from web tech, that aren’t privacy related per se. I do BLE apps. I do apps that operate equipment when there’s no connectivity or internet around. Or that need tuned performance. Haptic feedback. Custom hare sheets. So on and so forth. I would love to not have to code the same thing m not Kotlin and Swift. We’ve tried. It just fails to execute well in the end.
