Microsoft is really pushing PWA's into Windows, which is great. For those new here, the video series explains progressive apps in a simple way to anyone who is already a web developer. Thanks to Microsoft for being developer-friendly in the past years. Let's not forget that PWA exists thanks to Google as well. Both companies that embrace the web and open standards.

They are fully supported on ChromeOS, Windows, Android, macOS and, of course, most Linux distros as open-source developers are always the first ones to adopt new technologies. Apple...is another story....

They are on the dark side. They see PWA's as a threat to their app store closed walled garden model, reason why Safari does not support most technologies, but either way, at least you are controlling your app and users, not Apple, so PWAs are the only way to go for many apps in the future for iOS as Apple is getting more and more abusive towards developers.

And thanks to new EU regulations, starting in March of this year, at least European users will finally be able to get full rendering engines for other browsers, it means either Chromium-based browsers or Firefox can support PWA's.

I'd love a Dev series for making a web application made with Web Assembly into a PWA. The accessibility across devices these technologies allow is amazing!

[shubhamvyas]

You guys, just say web technologies are HTML, CSS and JS.
Then why you develop .Net MAUI and Blazor?
I am confused what to choose?

Too bad Windows is still horrible. Tech needs to slow down.

Great! More spam. When are you planning to stop promoting malware and return to making real, native apps?
