For those more knowledgeable than me, why use something like this over making your web app into a PWA?

  Most people don't know PWAs exist due to poor platform support/advertisement.

    What do you mean by poor platform support?

      Mozilla prism has been discontinued. Firefox first removed the feature by default and then removed it completely. IOS-add-to-home-screen always sucked. We deserve a better SSB implementation. Stuff like 1-click-install would be dead simple if a browser would do it properly. Notifications, multiple instances, extensions and without the overhead from atom or toDesktop or whatever.

  The installation experience for PWAs is still pretty poor. I've seen very few good examples of PWAs (probably because of this). And I've even bothered implementing a few. My conclusion after doing that: waste of time, users mostly ignore PWAs.

    I thought you could publish them on app stores. What makes the installation process poor?
