The breakout feels imminent.
Curious to know how app store monopolists like Apple will respond..

Keep in mind that PWA support/features is still dependent on browsers where Google and Apple have a very large market share.
It's the best thing we have but it's still not ideal imo.

good to be aware of.. at the very least, we are on the right path, and perhaps competitive pressure may eventually force the bigger players to adapt.

I'm a big fan of the mobile web, but I don't feel this is a breakout moment.
Happy to be pleasantly surprised though.

I’m honestly surprised Apple allows it on iOS. It’s a great way around using Xcode, publishing to the App Store, etc

I honestly feel like the only thing holding PWAs back is normies not knowing what they are and how they work

Yeah, and if anything they’re easier to adopt than traditional apps too

PWA apps are great, but they will not replace classic mobile/desktop apps. You can't access the hardware from JS, it's just too high-level a language.

It depends, with tools like electron you can access you OS to some extend, like with VS Code for example.
There's also a lot you can do on the web and it keeps expanding.

Google has Trusted Web Apps (TWA) that are standard PWA you can register like native apps that are then available in the Play Store.
Apple might take similar action in the future, as there's also platform that supports them a first class citizens like Firefox OS, Chrome OS or KaiOS.
Also, PWAs are the most cost-effective way to support multiple platforms and OS, the rise is unavoidable. 😎
