Thank you, but no thank you. I don’t need to promote a proprietary ecosystem charging yearly fees with my addition. PWAs or nothing.

    I wonder who Jesus is in this scenario.

      It’s a meme. https://knowyourmeme.com/memes/most-people-rejected-his-message https://knowyourmeme.com/memes/most-people-rejected-his-mess... The parent is right that web technology is the most democratic solution, but native fanatics will never accept the truth.

        I am forced to use web “apps” for work, and they are (still) terrible. It might be the best way to reach maximum people, but that does not make it a good way.

          I am forced to use “apps” for everything, and they are (still) terrible. It might be the best way to access platform apis, but that does not make it a good way.

            Most “apps” are wrappers around web pages though, or written in cross-platform technologies, making them not really apps.

              Gee, silly me, mobile developer who is unable to recognize when I see native application instead of web wrapper.

  I feel like I haven't seen PWA's in a while. Are there any you recommend as feeling like native apps?

    That depends. You’ll start encountering dark patterns when the address bar and underlying Safari browser appears and ruins the experience. PWAs are the alternative App Store we need, not a just a bandaid.
