Re: [w3ctag/spec-reviews] Progressive Web Apps (#123)

Somewhat relevant from Eran:

> Progressive web apps might be the future but if you are a startup trying to build new experiences, front end web development is probably at its lowest point. Mobile Safari is the new IE6. We have more amazing technology than ever before but we also have so much diversity of platforms, browsers, and screen types, that building a consistent experience pretty much means using almost none of it.

...

> We are going to build native apps because it turns out, it’s cheaper. It’s cheaper to build multiple proprietary applications than one responsive web app. As a CEO I can plan and predict the cost of building native apps, even with the required upgrades and annual breaking changes. I can’t when it comes to the web.

> Now, it doesn’t mean we are giving up. I much rather build for the web and nothing else. But it pisses me off every time I see a Twitter thread about how native apps are destroying the free world. Open standards are always going to be inferior to closed ones.
