I’m 45 years old and using cooked to mean something that it never meant. I don’t know when it happened, but it’s out there along with vibe.
Anyway… This post is all personal opinion.
Before we go too deep, I just want to ground some of this article in the definition of a PWA. MDN has a good overview.
“A progressive web app (PWA) is an app that’s built using web platform technologies, but that provides a user experience like that of a platform-specific app.”
The author seems to predicate his arguments on the assumption that “the web needs to be the development platform of choice” or something like that? I feel like I kept asking “why does the web need to do all these things” while reading the article; it feels like the author just assumes that a maximalist web platform is desirable? That having everything authored on/for the web is a forgone conclusion?
Until we have an OS that is literally just a web browser and does nothing except run PWAs and open web pages, that line of thought won’t make sense.
it’s definitely what google was going for
