I love it, maybe finally developers will no longer be under the mercy of apple/google store! Probably the only thing PWA fails to do now that anything needs access to the hardware say wifi/Bluetooth scanner and such, and big games too, the rest of the apps, I don’t see why it needs to be installed from app/play store.
- presson 3y agoThank you! That's our hope. The open web is making some major strides, so the next few years will certainly be interesting :-)

- hunter2_ 3y agoIt's in this list [0], indeed. [0] https://permission.site https://permission.site
- zapt02 3y agoFinally developers can be under the mercy of some random dude who owns the store.app domain and charges for instead, joy!
- tamimio 3y agoI see your point, but are they under this site mercy? This site is like a directory rather than a policy maker like app stores, it wont take % of any subscription for starter plus all the pros of lower development costs and what not. Say this site suddenly decided to remove your app? So what, your users can still go to your site and have the PWA, now if Apple decided to do the same to your app, good luck getting anyone to use it. Now is PWA the ultimate replacement? Certainly not, access to hardware, performance wise, games, you will still need them, but other than that, I think it’s a step forward.

- perilunar 3y agoNot really, since there can be many indexes like this. There's already https://appsco.pe https://appsco.pe for example.
