   I run my own PWA on a 2012 Samsung Galaxy S3 and the only performance problems I have, are due to bad decisions as a developer (e.g. loading all elements of a list isn't such a great idea when the list grows over time and you use the a

   I think it is good when new grads have the knowledge to see that those things don't look right and can articulate how and why it should look different. After all, when you come across a problem, that does not contain just 100 chars, it

   Apple is busy deleting localStorage data from PWA users... For those who did not read about it: https://andregarzia.com/2020/03/private-client-side-only-pwa...

   The look depends on how much effort the developer invests. If you take Bootstrap, the resulting PWA looks like a website. If you take Framework7 the resulting PWA looks more like a native App (including animations and the like).

   How should PWA take off, when Apple with a high mobile market share refuses to implement basic APIs like the Push API and other browsers can't run their own engine on iOS? It is abusive, but who cares.

   What did we expect? I mean how long is it now that Apple refuses to implement the Push API properly (which in turn is a basic requirement for many PWA use-cases). They clearly try to use their influence to defend their App Store revenue. An

   The problem is, that it rarely happens under normal circumstances. So you might build a logic which synchronizes your data to the server but rarely has to download it as most of the time it still has a relatively current snapshot. And the f

    In fact, just this week I thought about why Google doesn't make its mobile maps website fast again. It is such a pain to use it on older phones and I totally don't get, why it has to be that slow (doesn't matter if chrome or

    What do you mean by 'just Firefox'? Firefox, Chrome, Edge, Safari all support Progressive Web Apps in general. Older browsers, on the other hand, might not be able to use offline features, but at least you can use the app in the t

    Web apps are better because they are as much device-independent as apps can get nowadays. Service Workers are the background service for web apps, but since users don't want those services to drain the battery unnecessarily, you have t

    This is not just about chat. Ever tried to build a cross-device synchronization without being able to push updates to clients? It sucks. The user doesn't know that another user changed something until he opens the app and then the ap

    For some things, it is not that simple. Let's take for example the Push API. While there are very few web sites where you want them to send you notifications straight to your desktop, that API is also used to wake up your Service Worke

    Using the word 'survive' suggests that nightclubs are living beings. A better wording would be 'to stay in business'. The individuals who they reject on the other hand are living beings, more specifically humans. And tha

    Well, it is. I am a huge Go fan, but one of the most common XMPP servers (ejabberd) is written in Erlang and I think it probably is an even better choice for that purpose. However, more important than the implementation language is the prot

    Workbox is about service workers. So for very simple stuff like caching assets, it is quite helpful, but I was referring to the more transactional actions like multiple clients writing to the same backend, requiring to resolve conflicts. To

    I wish there was some easy to use library to solve this problem as this seems to be a problem many people come across when building a PWA.
