Progressive Web Apps (PWAs) vs native mobile apps | Leigh Kendell and Aranda Morrison 

I have a PWA with lots of access to hardware like GPS, notifications, etc., and it works great. It really just depends on how you develop it. The only issue with them is that they don’t pay app stores, and that's why they want to get rid of them

Great talk 👍. I love PWAs, and use them for every app I build. it will be the future of development for apps that uses web and mobile.

Great talk. PWAs should be the future here. App stores should allow native or PWA as long as it falls within the guidelines.

super excited about PWA's only to see that Safari hide all the fun stuff behind experimental feature flags.

I find the lack of installation support frustrating. "Add to home screen" is actually beyond most people. When the automatic installation works its amazing though. But it doesnt work for iOS and some android devices.

Great convo so far. Apple is the big hurdle. Slight correction. Bluetooth, USB Devices, Haptics & NFC (not mentioned but a good one) are all already supported generally on on the Web, e.g. Bluetooth since Chrome 56. And there's a few more cool features on the web coming! Excited to see apps render with WebGPU. Project Fugu is a good place to check out. Uber apparently launched originally as a PWA but moved to native eventually, would be great to know why. Love Web Share, love the ability of PWAs to handle URIs and, well love PWAs

pwas are a solution almost no one asked for. i *want* to know i'm offline, i don't want a website pretending i'm still online. 95% of the time it's bad UX. i don't click my browser expecting an offline experience, and never will.
