The world needs more PWA.
Tons of phone apps could easily be replaced by an equivalent PWA. There are only two things missing from progressive web apps --- hardware access and privacy invasion.
- jaktet 3y agoAssuming privacy invasion part was sarcasm, which hardware access pieces that are currently missing do you feel are most important? I took a read of https://web.dev/learn/pwa/capabilities/ https://web.dev/learn/pwa/capabilities/ since I have no experience building a PWA and it seems quite capable, just wondering what type of app CANNOT currently (or ever?) become a PWA.
- jqpabc123 3y agoAn example of what is currently missing might be access to network or Bluetooth devices. Some preliminary standards have been proposed. But just having a standard doesn't mean it will be supported. Apple for example, doesn't seem overly accepting of the overall PWA concept. And the privacy invasion comment wasn't just sarcasm. https://www.tomsguide.com/news/android-spyware-with-over-15-million-downloads-sends-your-data-to-china-delete-these-apps-right-now https://www.tomsguide.com/news/android-spyware-with-over-15-... https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2020/01/new-report-exposes-adtech-invading-our-privacy https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2020/01/new-report-exposes-adt...
