After 15 years of ios development, i must say i’m quite relieved that my next project is going to be web first.

Until you find all the inconsistent behavior between chrome, Firefox and safari. Oh and mobile safari vs desktop safari. Bad accessibility support, poor programming languages, etc

The solution is to develop for Safari primarily, check your work in Firefox, and ignore Chrome.

I'm assuming that is sarcasm

At least you don't have the sensation of fighting against the owner of the platform you're developing on. Undocumented behaviors or system limits of closed-source systems is the worst. Then after a while you realize that :

- apple itself probably isn't using the architecture it wants you to use and so its products don't have the same limits (theirs being directly embedded in the OS)

- there are some special entitlements you can ask to bypass those limits, but you have to ask them politely and they can revoke them at any time.

PWA as well?
