A question: is the app "wrapping" the PWA? If I'm not mistaken the API is not out in the wild so I guess you're using "web views" or something like that. Would love to read an article about how you and the contributors built it.
Personally I prefer an optimized PWA over installing a native app on Android, but I guess there's still enough people who want to use Apps...
(Android should just simply support setting a default PWA Browser which is different to the default browser.. When Chrome Canary is broken, it's really annoying that my PWAs also don't work..)
To anybody curious: The Android app will follow. iOS got prioritized due to Apple's crappy support for PWA. 🙃
Why not Expo? ;)
haha..thanks. Good to know the poorer section of the globe who arent IOS also have hope!

Great idea for a post. The repo contains the gist of the approach but I could definitely walk through the process.

I wonder how many regular users are aware of PWAs at all.
I'm loving the PWA on android. Using Edge for Android and have it pinned to my homepage. Notifications don't come through though.
