I can say as a user, I REALLY don't like stores that try to push me to use a mobile app if i visit them on my phone. It tends to make me bounce fromt the site, let alone not buy the thing i clicked on the ad for.

I'm also very unlikely to do the 'add to homescreen' for any ecommerce site, especially random tshirt stores or whatnot. Also, be really carefull about adding other features like notifications and location services with your pwa, if all you're doing is selling 5 products.

I've clicked on a bunch of ads on facebook, only to go from 'take my money!' to 'why do i need to sign up for a newsletter to see a price?'

Please be careful your user engagement is not preventing people from giving you money!

Agree! First thing is to offer value to the user. PWA is just a tool.

Web Push Notifs are the most overused feature now :(
