Not quite web dev but I've always thought there might be room for a browseresque class of software for mobile apart from the literal browser. Instead of every mom and pop shop having basically similar apps that everyone feels resentful of installing, just have a bunch of the shared functionalities bundled into a meta app. The app browser could handle things like identity/billing/notifications etc. The mini-apps could be mostly a JSON object defining behaviors and then maybe some styling/assets. It could lower the cost of getting a proper mobile experience out for businesses as well as lower the friction for a user debating installing an app. It seems a shame that the choice is between a responsive webapp and a really expensive (dev time wise) native app.
