on the other hand, stop putting apps in webpages

  • Apps were not supposed to be given a constrained execution environment that is years behind what the hardware can do
  • Years of internet and no real world use-case for using anything other than Lotus 123
  • Wanted to do something else for a laugh? We had a tool for that: It was called "Games"
  • "Yes please let my hardware be useless without internet access" - Statements dreamed up by the utterly Deranged

Bold of you to assume that the websites wrapped up as apps are in any way useful if you lose internet access.

Apps wrapped up as apps are useful without internet access.

Service workers are supported by every web browser and enable websites to work offline. They can even do periodic background pushes/refreshes.

My dream is that one day PWAs replace 90% of apps in existence today.

Love running apps in a worse operating system running on top of my operating system
