  • PWAs (Progressive Web Apps) are their own categories of websites and they do indeed have the ability to behave like an actual app. They are much more than just a shortcut, which apple is reducing them to.

    On android, my PWA that I developed for fun can go full screen and appear as though a browser isn’t wrapping the page, I can send notifications, I can access the microphone and camera, I can do nearly everything you could expect an app to do, I can support offline mode, I can store data locally, and I can manage my PWAs permissions as well as uninstall my app at an OS level. My entire family uses my PWA, and they see it as an app.

    Are there some things native apps can do that PWAs can’t? Absolutely, but that is not the point. PWAs are an open and clearly defined technology to the web. Windows supports them as well.

    Apple is refusing to accept that though. They are removing notifications, badges, etc, and reducing them to what you have described, just a shortcut to a Safari window. They are citing security concerns even though other operating systems are able to implement security around them just fine.

    The real issue is Apple wants more control over how you use your device and is acting against the consumer.

    Whomever may be reading this, I’ve recently found incredible luck with dawn dish soap.

    • Run glasses and hands under water
    • Put glasses to the side and lather dish soap on your fingers.
    • Using your lathered fingers, gently apply soap to glasses
    • Put glasses to the side and rinse off your hands so they’re not still soapy
    • Reduce water pressure so it’s gentle, constant stream of water.
    • Rinse off glasses

    I only really clean my glasses once a month ish. Maybe twice. Of course if I smear my glasses or it’s an eventful week, I clean as needed. That’s just how often I clean them.
