Woops, messed up the wording there.
It's an interesting way to go about it. But I am not sure it's the same as what we get now. We aren't just leveraging the webkit renderer, we are using the browser as a complete OS/runtime for your applications. On top of an OS that already has its own UI libraries.
The current standard is that when you visit a webpage you are downloading an application in the tens of megabytes. In 2007 that would barely be possible.
When I think of PWAs I think of Microsoft Teams. It's slow as a website and somehow slower as a >100mb "native" app.
Anyway thanks for the reference. I am curious how much the current method strays from what Apple envisioned back then.
