You're talking about progressive web apps. MacOS / iOS / Android have them, and I started using them more recently. Essentially, they're just webviews wrapped in a native app.
- alternatex 2y agoPWAs have nothing to do with web views or native apps. They're just a collection of technologies (service worker, caching API, platform APIs, home screen installation, etc) that makes it possible to have offline available web apps that have a shortcut on your desktop/home screen. There is no web view or native app (outside of your default) browser involved.
