neonhat··on Ask HN: Any resource on how to repair MacBook logic board?
You're being a bad customer. This isn't how it works. When it breaks, you take it to the Apple Store and pay your dues. Apple will not succeed if people like you try to game the system.
neonhat··on Integrate PWAs into Native Sharing UIs with Workbox

1. A web app developed using WebAssembly offers performance indistinguishable from that of a native app.

2. Since the web app offers native performance, there's practically no need for a native app to exist in the first place. Why should developers waste their time developing for multiple platforms when a single mobile app works flawlessly?

3. This is great for users because the app is highly performant, universally accessible, and doesn't require installation.
