It should be a PWA

Let's talk about native apps that should be Progressive Web Apps! Curated by @firt If you were mentioned: there is a cure, contact your Web Professional now

The @McDonalds app. Only ever used to make an order. As it’s very transactional, there’s no need for it to be taking up space on my phone. @ShouldBePWA

[Maximiliano Firtman @firt]

A city government paid $50K for a one-year license of an app for police agents that uses speech synthesis and voice recognition for "inclusive communication."

I created a PWA with the same behavior in less than 2 hours. I did a video about it (in Spanish) https://t.co/AlxF3o3uHY

Saw this at the
@FlyingTigerUK store in Oxford Street. Requiring the user to install an app can add friction to your user's journey. This app by @MishiPayApp is a PWA and can be installed, but doesn't require to. Is "No app install required" the new "There's an app for that"?

It @ShouldBePWA 🤷‍♂️

Hey @Windycom . Your mobile website is excellent! Why is there even an App? @ShouldBePWA

Every banking app.
Every airline app.
Every public transit/parking app.
Every ride-sharing/hailing app.
Every fast food/food delivery app.

Can just as easily be a PWA as a native app.

If you'd rather build 3 or 4 native apps... I'm not gonna tell you how to spend your money.

The government of Colombia 🇨🇴created CoronApp to support citizens and visitors on the COD-19 outbreak. It's a native app for Android. It's not accessible or usable; no need for native

It can save lives but many million citizens can't use it

It should be a PWA.
It must be a PWA.

[MinSalud Colombia 🇨🇴 @MinSaludCol]

A través de la aplicación “CoronApp”, colombianos y viajeros podrán reportar su estado de salud, conocer la ubicación de farmacias, clínicas y hospitales, así como los teléfonos útiles para emergencias relacionadas con el COVID-19. ¡Descárgala ya!➡https://t.co/o7VOFdBvw8

Remember: if you have a great web app, you really close to being a PWA. It’s probably a good idea to walk those extra steps! Performance, offline access and installability will provide good UX for your users.

[KΞNNETH ・ ケニチ @kennethrohde]

And not even a Progressive Web App 😔😟

[It should be a PWA @ShouldBePWA]

If you have a great webapp or webgame you are pretty close to a PWA. Let's add the final touches!

[Maximiliano Firtman @firt]

Current state of the Progressive Web App platform (PWA): compatibility on mobile and desktop, abilities, install ability, App Store support, tools and more. #repost https://t.co/f8AjEf6NKC

@davidmaxwaterma The web app manifest can specify a preference for app store installation instead of the PWA installation

[It should be a PWA @ShouldBePWA]

The official app for @CopaAmerica is native: 128MB on iOS, 49MB on Android
—Competition lasts only 4 weeks
—Only sports info coming from web services
—No native features, but many permissions granted that may violate user's privacy
—Insecure webview for ecommerce

@ShouldBePWA @firt every conference app should be a PWA. No one needs to download a native app usable for just 2-3 days.

[It should be a PWA @ShouldBePWA]

If you take a @Ryanair flight and want to see the drinks and food menu, you can download a +100MB app from stores. No inflight WiFi is available and trying cellular connections inside the plane can be a problem. It @ShouldBePWA!

BTW, receipts are available on the Web 🙄

[KΞNNETH ・ ケニチ @kennethrohde]

Why is https://t.co/YuheZEtMVJ not a PWA?

[It should be a PWA @ShouldBePWA]

Our first “victim” is the New York City’s Pennsylvania Train Station app by @amtrak
−Nobody can find it today by its name “FindYourWay” 🤨
−600K daily passengers but less than 3% downloaded the app
−50MB on iOS, 21MB on Android - bad reviews (2.5 stars)
−Too many permissions

Hello World!
Let's mention services and apps that are currently only at app stores forcing users to use memory space and waste data in background updates because they are developed as native apps but could have much better user experience if they were PWAs
