Ask any average user how they’d go about installing a web site to their Home Screen and they’ll just stare at you blankly. I guess Byzantine is the wrong word.

I guess Byzantine is the wrong word. It’s not discoverable because no one knows what they’re even looking for.
- monkin 4y agoI think that more likely no one cares about this beside few tech-savvy users and they don't need a guide to do it.
- afavour 4y agoI don’t think anyone cares, no, because to them it’s a meaningless technical distinction. They shouldn’t have to care. I think they want to install an app. If it were equivalently easy to install a webapp vs native most users would be happy with either. But native is a two-tap process, web is a mess.
- intrasight 4y agoPWA is also a two-tap process - and with less cognitive dissonance. No reading reviews, terms of service, privacy docs. No "onboarding" workflow.
