Oddly enough PWA / Webapps was the original design intent for the iPhone (before the app store) and why it shipped with for the time the most advanced standards based browser on mobile.

I have yet to experience a PWA that is as quick to load or easy to navigate (smooth scrolling / responsiveness) as a native or hybrid native mobile app.

There always seem to be odd "browser" based glitches from errors from page loads or rubber banding or zoom / cliping of the UI at times.

I'm using wefwef right now and it is surprisingly good.

It can't be as efficient as native apps. So no, I am against it being a standard. I don't want unnecessarily resource hungry things.

Apple and Google can maybe instead collaborate together for a protocol for Android and iPhone to ease the process of multi-platform apps.

I only use wefwef at the moment, but I love it. It's faster and looks a lot better than the other iPhone clients I've tried so far.

I love the 2 I currently use regularly, Wefwef and Lichess. The biggest advantage is how easy it is to install compared to a native app not on play store. I'm all for wider adoption!

It’s much harder to hide bloat in a PWA. That alone is worth it for me when it comes to most apps. I have a bunch of PWA’s instead of their native apps.

I'm not sure so far. I've been using wefwef but it doesn't feel very responsive, scrolling is smooth but there's a small delay when tapping on anything.

If there is going to be a standard it should be a compiled language with some sort of common ui framework. Basically like js+html+css but compiled and cross platform. It'll never happen, though
