Funny how the vast majority of web apps are not snappy, or polished, or rival native apps.

The whole discourse around PWAs is frankly schizophrenic.

Web apps (esp. Electron-based) on desktop: universally regarded as bloated, slow, resource-intensive for the simplest tasks, breaking platform conventions etc.

You add a P in front, and talk about mobile? Oh, PWAs are the bee's knees, just as good or better than native etc.

And yet, when you ask for examples of these amazing apps (after all, Android with full PWA support has dominated mobile market for over a decade) we get either silence or... Twitter.
