PWABuilder is an open source project and builds cross platform web apps. We feel Medium is a better fit than the more corporate structured blogs. So far we've been pretty happy with Medium. That said, we have been mulling building our

They mention in the post that Chrome has implemented lazy loading for both images and iframes, suggesting it's also in Edge and Brave.

My big takeaway from this is that Progressive Web Apps (PWAs) will become more like first-class apps on Windows. Installing a PWA on Windows will make it show up as its own process in Task Manager, listed in start menu and taskbar, listed a

It's not just about the revenues of $100/year. It's also the revenue from 30% sharing of profits. And most importantly, it's the bigger revenue generated from having apps that work only on iOS, which drives users to buy

Security: it runs in the browser's sandbox. Native apps by contrast generally have (or can request) full access to your system.

> Is that about right? Progressive Web Apps are strictly defined: 1. The app has an app manifest describing metadata about the web app, enabling it to be treated like an app (e.g. it can be installed) 2. The app has a service worker, ena

On one hand, I don't like this direction from Apple because it's meant to boost Apple's proprietary app store business -- which directly competes with the open web -- but masquerades as a privacy issue. On the other hand, thi

I've used Windows for decades and didn't know about this until today. Start -> Clipboard Settings -> Clipboard History Once on, Win+V shows clipboard history. Super cool.

This sounds like a brilliant idea, and I'm almost wanting to build it myself. If we can tack on a visual head and sync up the lips to the words, it'd be amazing and would likely go viral.

Brave ads don't track you around the web and sell your data to other advertisers. Brave ads don't slow down the pages your browsing, or get in the way of the content you're trying to view. And, Brave ads are optional; you onl

I've been using Brave rewards, both as a user and a content maker. It's really great, and I feel this may be a reasonable alternative to the invasive trackers+ads we have today. For the uninitiated, Brave lets users opt-in to Brav

The point remains: one cannot bring a fullly independent browser on iOS. Microsoft was successfully sued for much less in the late '90s. It's a business practice that reduces user choice and freedom, and stifles innovation and com

This. Was. Awesome. I did some Windows programming in VC++6 way back in the day, and watching you do File->New [empty] Project was super nostalgic for me. And I actually learned a bunch of things watching this video. Kudos!
