Reason 1: This would confuse users.

Reason 2: it's easier to use a tool like Cordova and create an Android and iOS app.

> Apple doesn’t care enough about PWAs because users don’t care.

Maybe you are right.

But what is a PWA?

Maybe I have special website and users can configure Bluetooth devices via that page. No need to install a native App, no need for pwa.

All you need is a browser which supports the latest specs.

Most people can't image what could be possible without installing a native App.

We only know what we are used to. Much more could be possible without the need for native apps.

I am deeply relaxed, I am old. Hypes come and hypes go. The current hype for native apps will decline. The web is the only universal platform.

Both. I don't do day trading. I focus on the long run.

At the moment Apple looks healthy.

Somehow they were able to suppress the next steps of evolution of web tech.

The topic is so difficult because you can install third party browser, but not third party browser engines.

I never thought lawmakers will understand that issue. But some did and EU DMA is just the beginning.

Nobody needs native apps.

Why are there only few PWAs?

Because of AppleBrowserBan. Apple want you to pay the AppStore Tax.

As soon as there are alternative browser engines on iOS, the next innovation cycle starts.

I am optimistic, the web, the universal platform, will shine stronger and beautifully after the decade of "we need native apps".

I have sold my Apple shares.

Apple will lose that fight.

Just like MS was forced to allow other browsers 15 years ago.

We are ugly, but we have the music

I had almost the same idea some days ago. Just syntax which I like more:

``` fd, .. := os.Open(filename) ``

htmx.org the one and only frontend revolution

Django, Python and htmx.org are great. Neither old nor boring. It works. The docs are great. It works on raspberry up to huge cloud setups. Have fun

Hyperscript is great. Just like the real revolutionary htmx.

Htmx is boring. That's why I like it.

I looked at several html-over-the-wire frameworks during the last weeks and wrote down my opinionated perspective.

I think I will go with htmx.
