Decent explainer from Windows Central about what PWAs are from a user's perspective: https://youtu.be/0OJ24kCV-J8

It's been neat to watch PWAs go from this weird thing the Chrome team was pushing, to a handful of "hello world" apps, to some impressive apps for emerging markets like Flipkart and Konga, to a mainstream thing that all browsers are embracing and big players like Twitter and Instagram are building for as well.

BTW fun fact: every Mastodon instance is its own PWA. 😁

@nolan another data point in the "What Chrome Wants, Chrome Gets" narrative 🤔 #conspiracy #dontbeevil #Google #illuminati #deepstate #fakenews #sheeple

@nick They're not wrong to point out that browser vendors have their own motivations for supporting PWAs. If the end result is an interoperable, standards-based app format that every major OS and browser supports though… then I'm on board. 😁

@nick @nolan disagree. Native Chrome Apps are dead and replaced by PWA, supported by the big 4. Also Native Client (Chrome-only) is dead, replaced by WebAssembly. We can't really complain on these fronts.
