    there's been significant updates with PWAs and frontend frameworks from 7 years ago which is why i think its worth discussing it again

  Having looked at the HN API it seems ill suited to direct access from a web app, for example changes are reported every 30 seconds - miss them and they are gone. And that kind of access could end up placing an unnecessary load on the API. So it comes down to a more backend heavy solution.

    you are missing the point its to demonstrate PWA across different frameworks I don't know why there is so much pushback against it its actually very useful to avoid building mobile apps
