Electron apps also had/have a bad reputation and the came vscode.



I heard it from Jobs. And?

On VS Code: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=35450206


I am not the biggest fan of VS Code but it has a lot of fans.

That aside, focusing on the main topic, and now I am answering more seriously.

You claimed PWA that do not suck are a fantasy. My point is it is not such a crazy thought. It is very possible. Now that Apple wants to appear less monopolistic (probably because of Epic court case) they are finally giving more permissions to PWAs.

On top of that the founder of the company expressed this same vision.

Both things, together, make me think that it is not such a fantasy.

And those are?

Android is 70% of world's smartphones with none of the limitations that people accuse Safari of.

Where are those amazing PWAs we keep hearing a out?


I do not have a killer PWA app to share with you, unfortunately, unless you want to check my amazing PWA ios calculator clone https://getcalculator.app/ :) The ipad does not have a calculator.

You claimed it was a fantasy. I disagree. I think you will only accept it is not a fantasy if I show you an amazing PWA. I am happy to accept it is not a fantasy if it is possible (Epic app store court case makes it possible IMO).

To me, a fantasy is something impossible, not only something that does not exist. We will have to agree to disagree.
