No. PWAs are not a thing on desktops, they still need the entire browser, and they are still just a browser page. That's a far cry from what JavaFX enabled.

- GeneralMaximus 3y agoJavaFX programs needed the Java runtime too, and they were still just Java apps. How is the JRE different from Safari or Edge? Or is my understanding of JavaFX incorrect, and it somehow turned applets into native binaries when you dragged them out of the browser?
- niutech 3y agoThat's correct, JavaFX needs JRE, as well as Java Web Start.
