    Why the fuck did your dumb ass install a fucking app for a website you can easily navigate and access?

        Every time you see “try it in our app!”

        a poor developers soul was sacrificed to make a PWA.

          They’re not too hard to make. The service worker is most of the effort imo.

          Most frameworks it’s relatively free

            I let you in on a secret… I actually think they’re really neat, just really not useful for the applications most prevalent (news sites, etc. where you likely want to be online anyway)… but that’s got me thinking a wiki PWA would be sweet to cache articles… and that is all I can think of lol

              they can still help improve perceived startup time by caching layout, CSS, and some static pages.

          in case you aren’t joking: Progressive Web App. Something apple doesn’t like much now
