The web is an open, standards-based meta-platform but the origin model puts DNS and TLS (demonstrable IP ownership) in the middle of the conversation. Naming and trust are hard and nothing blockchainesque has demonstrably solved either as well as the web has.

I think my question is more around dapp devs that _use_ the web (see http://pepedapp.com ) as the UI for their dapp. On mobile, launching a dapp as a native app is firewalled by apple/goog. Can PWAs be an alternative?

Lol don't read too far into it. It's just an example of ERC-721 non-fungible tokens (aka collectibles) but the "marketplace" is a web app powered by Ethereum on the backend. Crypto Kitties is another example

I mean...if I say "no, PWAs won't work here", will that deny aid and comfort to proto-fascists?

I hear you, but that's not the point. I'm asking about dapps and control from a mobile perspective. We can discuss how alt-right groups have co-opted a collectible that existed way before them but that's not what I'm trying to get your opinion on!

Alt-right fascists? I wouldn't piss on them if they were on fire. Now that we've established that, let's talk about cryptokitties
I'm genuinely interested in whether PWAs could enable dApps on mobile vs app store. Maybe it doesn't matter?2 replies 0 retweets 0 likes
To the extent that distributed logic is fine with a centralised front-end, PWAs can help.
