A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.

Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

I can confirm it's pretty fuckin lit, didn't expect PWA to be such a good experience

Well you rarely ever see them done right. This is a wonderful example of what can be accomplished with a PWA if more developers were more interested that format.

Developers are. But people think a “native” electron app is better.

Also a closed source native app can do tracking a pwa has a hard time doing.

Most applications people use TODAY are a web view with some (or none) extra stuff running in the back anyway. If PWAs worked in safari (as they should) almost no top 100 app would be outside of the capabilities of the web as a platform. Not even offline usage. Not even games.
