Telegram Web, wefwef and Outlook (for work) are doing a fantastic job running on my iPhone SE. Do you think PWA on mobile are the future? Developers could get around the 30% cut for in-App-purchases and publish apps not even allowed in large appstores. Companies could sell phones with alternate operating systems and their users could still access all their favourite apps (yes, I’m dreaming). Wasn’t Steve Jobs original idea of the iPhone about something similar to PWA instead of apps?
It can’t be as efficient as native apps. So no, I am against it being a standard. I don’t want unnecessarily resource hungry things.
Apple and Google can maybe instead collaborate together for a protocol for Android and iPhone to ease the process of multi-platform apps.
That makes no sense. Native apps are full of tracking and analytics garbage you can’t easily block not to mention ads. Most are just react native anyways if cross platform. PWAs you can at least block all the nasty stuff and honestly I doubt anyone would notice a difference in performance. I’m sorry you’ve had a bad experience though.
I’m pretty sure the overhead of a web renderer is considerably more than any analytics library loaded in the app unless it’s particularly bad code.
Not really. A proper PWA is cached locally and assets loaded just once just like a normal app.
