as a web app, it can be installed on any device that has a browser. Dev doesn’t also need to publish his work in app/play stores which may require extra payment
No. The browser (which is the runtime that pwas use) is already a very limited environment with little to access to the system - and if the app wants to access something potentially sensitive, then the browser asks for permission. Even then it doesn’t have access to nearly anything that a native app can access.
The portability is awesome. I switched to wefwef and had it going on all my devices in minutes. Web apps don’t have to suck. Apps also have more privacy implications than a PWA.

And since it doesn’t have to be published in any app stores, it can be updated much more quickly and frequently.
No kidding I think it had like 4 updates yesterday 🤣
This. I pressed update on my Android, iPhone, and Desktop and it only took like half a second. This PWA is scary good.
I thought pwa were supposed to suck but I honestly haven’t even looked at any other apps because wefef works so well
This is what blows my mind. PWAs have always been sort of ok. But wefwef is just <chef’s kiss.gif>
Why does it take so long to push updates on AppStores?
I think they maybe have to be approved first so that people aren’t updating their apps with something malicious
So it is not as safe as downloading an app from the AppStore right?
