Viewing a web browser as the “open internet platform” is the crux of this issue that has gone unchecked for years. We turned a document reader into an application environment. This is the issue I have with PWA. A plastic bandage on a festering wound.
On your points regarding sandboxing, I believe that should’ve been rolled into OS userspaces for years as well, and only developing the technology as it relates to web browsers is a huge oversight that has and will further lead to security issues.
Not everything needs to be an application but building applications in a document viewer is a bit silly.
edit: less cynicism; I want to take a moment to charade all the efforts gone into Linux distributions that take sandboxing and immutability seriously. They aren’t very good solutions either, but it all starts somewhere.


Progressive Web Apps, a crack-pipe idea that allows you to install websites as if they were computer applications. Desktop entries, shortcuts, opens as a single window with no URL bar, everything to make it look like a computer application, but it isn’t. It didn’t take off because it’s not a very good idea, with no very good implementations. In my opinion.


Look at me guys, I’m contrarian! Look! Look!

One could argue Apple’s disruption in the mobile device sector was not for the greater good.
As much as he may want, and thankfully.
Prime example of what’s to come in this post-literate society!


I’m not both sidesing, but both sides…


Discord is just as inaccessible from the open internet as it’s always been, if not arguably worse so, although you’re right in giving Reddit no further credit in that department.
