I'm working for startup and built PWA, which was perfect fit for our use case - easy to install, fast to update, shared codebase with desktop, could be run offline and could deliver Push notifications. But then Apple decided to be Apple and we basically lost full iOS marketshare in EU with that (we're based in Poland, and EU is our main if not only market).

You left out the two most important problems with PWAs... distribution and Apple.

[@AngularUniversity]

PWAs never took off due to Apple delaying support years, and then only giving partial support, creating all sorts of problems. The installation user experience of installation was awful last time I checked.

[@jamesgphillips91]

Hot take: as developers we should advocate for moving to pwas and wasm for all app development. The dom is by far the best way to build user interfaces, the web becomes the platform to distribute apps and we cut out the corporate fat of platform app stores entirely

[@hanmingzheng5592]

I hope less and less ppl use apple. Overpriced, so little invovation.. and limited pwa support

[@prathamshenoy9840]

even if i am not lazy enough to build native mobile apps, i would want to skip the app store fees

[@adriablancafort]

PWAs are awesome!

[@ElectricalEngineeringApp]

I have also made a PWA of my android app, better option actually is PWA

[@slmille4]

In theory PWAs let you create cheap cross platform apps, but in practice companies still end up needing iOS and Android native versions as well.

[@MaximeMoreillon]

Are PWAs equally supported on all modern browsers ? I remember having issues with Safari a while ago

[@CyberTechBits]

Building PWAs is sooo much better! Great video!

[@gageracer]

One thing I was not able to achieve is serverless PWA. Specifically for to send notifications to user without a server. I want to set reminders and alerts just from the client side and trigger a push notification when app is not up but it seems like you can only push the notifications from a server to the service worker.

[@seanknowles9985]

Would be great to cover in offline sync with Mong atlas registering pwa on the appstores

[@rrenildopereiraa]

yeee, was waiting for this video!!

[@dennisadamczyk]

Notice: To make an PWA installable, a service worker is required in a lot of browsers.

[@sinicvukaj2974]

Very good video

[@abrahamsimonramirez2933]

Apache cordova works for me

[@jimmyroserovallejo]

Yo Uso una PWA y es excelente, hasta web push e instalación sin pagar en tiendas de apps, lamentablemente el soporte para apple ya no existe, pero para android son excelente opción, creo que deberiamos exigir a google nuevas características como plashscreen y una que otra cosita que falta de las nativas... que le sigan dando soporte...

Awesome
