Are you aware that iOS supports PWAs, and recently implemented notifications for them?
- samwillis 3y agoExactly, they are in recent years moving to address these previous issues, I applaud them. I would like it if they were more discoverable, but not necessarily with the obnoxious pop ups. It would be awesome if they let you list a PWA in the App Store for a fee or the 30% cut.

Besides - there are plenty of other things Apple can do to ensure PWA's don't take off. For example, there is no ability for a web-app to have a "click here to install to desktop" button - the website must try to guide the user into clicking the share button and then creating a desktop icon - which most users don't associate with 'installing' something. Also, the 50Mb limit on PWA's prevents a lot of usecases - like photo/video editors, and even most messaging apps.
- guraf 3y agoFascinating how to keep moving the goalposts. Firefox refuses to implement pwa. Chrome has pwas but they're not isolated. Apple is the only one with sane pwa but somehow they're the worst and are totally sabotaging PWAs because something something walled garden?
- andai 3y ago>50 MB excludes most messaging apps The entirety of TempleOS (including dozens of programs and multimedia games) is 2MB.

- philistine 3y agoHey, TempleOS is simply using the resolution God requires.
- londons_explore 3y agoThis isn't just the limit for css/js... It's the limit for user data too. Ie. if you share some videos with a PWA app, then all the videos have to fit inside 50MB unless you want to fetch them from a server each time you play them. Or consider a PWA music player - 50MB of music is all you can play offline. Or a photo editor - 50MB is the limit for all your saved files unless you want to save them to a cloud server.
- wolrah 3y ago> Or consider a PWA music player - 50MB of music is all you can play offline. > Or a photo editor - 50MB is the limit for all your saved files unless you want to save them to a cloud server. Why should either of these be saving files in an app-specific private datastore? Music, photos, videos, etc. should be in the standard system locations. The app's data storage should be solely used for settings, cache, and other internal data only useful to the app. I'm not familiar with PWAs but if they can't access system storage then I don't think they're a useful choice for a music player or photo editor.
- shalmanese 3y agoBecause you might not have unrestricted rights to the files. The Netflix app allows me to download movies to watch offline but they're DRMed and rented to me by Netflix, not owned by me. A Netflix PWA would not allow for such feature.
