Yet another blog about the state and future of Progressive Web App

An excellent post from Ada Rose Edwards on Progressive Web Apps. She’s brings up some very real concerns, many of which I share:

  • The basis for what Chrome defines as a Web App is based upon a set of technology rather than a set of features.
  • We need to consider carefully before we throw away URLs or the entire browser chrome in an effort to look like and behave like platform-specific apps.
  • The install banner is the browser manufacturers’ choice; it’s not a spec.
