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?

    I love the 2 I currently use regularly, Wefwef and Lichess. The biggest advantage is how easy it is to install compared to a native app not on play store. I’m all for wider adoption!

    It’s much harder to hide bloat in a PWA. That alone is worth it for me when it comes to most apps. I have a bunch of PWA’s instead of their native apps.
