We have come full circle. Kids these days forget that the official application framework for iPhone OS in 2007 was a bunch of HTML/CSS/images that mimicked iPhone OS UI as a web application (basically poor man's PWA). The jailbreak community reverse-engineered iPhone headers and developed an unofficial toolchain based on llvm-gcc right away to build iPhone applications and they had an app store which still lives as Cydia (saurik et al) before Steve believed in that. Apple only threw the towel half a year later with an official beta SDK after the product-market-fit was so strong that they had no choice. Now we recreate the whole OS in browser.
