This is very sad! PWA is future of agile apps development.

More like a kludgy workaround for having to go through the submission process of the app store walled gardens of phone vendors.

Nothing else.

It has certainly nothing to do with any "agile apps development" and there is little to no market for it outside of mobile (i.e. desktop).

Installable PWA:s could in many cases replace Electron apps completely and would be superior as they would contain a much more up to date browser.

> Nothing else.

Is it? The prospect of a single standard is still pretty enticing to me. Granted, you have things like Cordova, Flutter etc that already solve the single codebase problem. But under the hood they all “convert” things to native XY and Z. Don’t you think that a single standard like PWA would be better for the industry in general?

It will kill a lot of monetization, which is probably why it failed to get much traction with Apple.

Doesn't desktop user heavily consume web based apps? Think YouTube and Gmail.

Edit: grammar fix.
