Sure. But you seem to be approaching interviews as a one way street like, "I hold this thing here which I will give it to you if I deem you worthy". That is not how things work these days in tech, especially in hot markets. If you are not willing to carve out time there are plenty others who will. Sorry dude, just the reality of the rare market situation where the power is balanced between companies and talent.

FUD? You want the general population to gamble away their life savings in what effectively are some shiny slides? Completely unregulated? Would you like to invest in this bridge I have here for you? Hey, you want to get in now before everyone wants in and the prices go 10x.

The biggest advantage for a hobbist developer like me is that web development makes a single code base possible. One code base runs on phones, tablets, desktop, across OSs etc. It would be impossible for me to write and distribute solutions otherwise. Multiple programming languages, deployment overhead across app stores etc.

I miss the provision of notifications the most. With PWA I can cover Android, but I don't think anyone allows notifications from websites (I don't).
