I thought it too

And now you have Android Instant Apps.

"Add to Home screen" 😂

@Eariel i really don't like the concept. Hopefully this dies off somehow.

Progressive Web Applications are the future 😁

Didn't Apple try this and it fail miserably because they didn't plan well for the really big apps?

@darksideplease, I'm not sure about it. It's a bit intrusive. In the other hand, could lead to forced good code practices. Many projects depend so much on initial data load / network that you can't fix it without a beast refactor... And this "instant" stuff could convince some managers to give time for that.

@Eariel i agree. But what ticks me off is that these instant apps are just webapps but from a different starting point. These instant apps have much more privileges and are much more troublesome to develop (i can only imagine so if google says such an app can be "splitted" into parts).

I just hope they will provide a central off-switch for instant apps in android.
