I wonder why pwas never became more popular. You can offer your service for everyone, without the need to install anything, while letting people install it as an app, if they want.
agree here. Im guessing because of the massive control apps give the places. I can no script my browser.
Voyager for Lemmy started as a progressive web app. But due to operating system limitations people had the desire to make it an actual app app.
That kind of app is understandable because we tend to use it too often, but when it comes to apps like online shops, delivery services, government services, and other things we tend to use less often, I think it's better to avoid filling my phone with invasive and bloated apps.
