theuser48024y@uyouthe PWA is just a couple of google employers idea of a "new class of applications". Nobody actually knows what it is and at this point, you have to spend the best part of a working day just to figure it out.
Also, Apple will never accept PWA because it lets their users install what they would perceive as an app from outside the appstore.
(By accept, I mean they are in no hurry to implement the Web APIs commonly referenced alongside PWA's) -
theuser48024y@uyouthe Except, it requires mac hardware, xcode and a ridicoulus yearly fee. Steve Jobs told us HTML would be the future and iOS would run web apps, but that was then I suppose.

kiki352554y@theuser wat? noo.js.org, pwa, I spent no money at all creating it, installable on both iOS and macOS.

Html and js may be native to the web platform but the web platform itself is not native to anything. So by transitivity, html and js is not native 😁

Aloe6404yIf you build a startup with low budget, hybrid is a go, otherwise just use platforms' native😡

irene33944y@theuser I built one in Angular and you can host it on github pages install it to the home-screen without using an app store. I have a bunch of calculators and tools on phone that I built. They are generally made with Material so it is quite hard to see that they aren't "real" apps. One does tone generation. I made one that saves GPS coordinates to a list for later with a comment about the location. I was making one that is a "Yakbak" (think Talking Tom of the 90's) but I shelved that project because got a job.
I started in Angular similar to this:

When applying transitivity to nativeness, native apps have to be written in pure machine code...
But if not, HTML and JS are native on the web.
And for all current desktop and smartphone OSes there are native apps for interacting with that web.
So if you want to cover the largest-possible user base with a write-once approach, the web is the platform to target. -
kiki352554y@iiii you’re wrong. Interpreter doesn’t mean virtual machine. And even if js is run in vm it’s still native to the web platform
-
kiki352554y@iiii you’re again wrong. It wasn’t me who invented it, it was Kohler and his amazingly important study. Also I’m not the only one who use it here.

Wow, first time i actually saw a removal by downvote happen.
Never got to read iiii's answer - but it is still mentioned in my timeline.
Was it really _that_ bad? -
@iiii
So a single downvote is enough to remove a comment on DevRant?
Or has DevRant a community mod system like stackoverflow? -
@iiii
So there are basically standard downvotes (as i can see your comment at -1 you seem to have got one). And there are censor votes.
Did not need to actually remove a comment of another author yet as i am actually pro troll comments as long as there aren't too much of them.
But good to know that that option exists...
If it’s not native, it’s trash.
