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 -

Joe, web notifications are controlled at the browser vendor level so ts not part of the open web IMHO. I'm unsure about the rest of the PWA feature set. It likely comes down to implementation but my assumption would be that there are many mechanisms for censorship & surveillance.

That's a bit orthogonal. Notifications are possible w/o Push, and browser choice is A Thing (outside iOS, at least).

I can see why you say that given the design choices that were made. I understand the landscape at the time and the goal was to match what native offers. With that said, would you say I'm providing inaccurate or unnecessary information with respect to the question?

Alex, shoot me any relevant information you might have on this if you think I got the wrong idea. Also, I'm not entirely sure what you mean by notifs w/o push, if you can clarify on that I'd appreciate it.

Sorry, wasn't meaning to be argumentative! Was only noting that the push backend can be whatever service the browser chooses, so browser choice allows for different implementations.

No apology necessary. I see what you mean. As a small suggestion it may be empowering to the user if one can set their push provider in the same way they can set their search provider in the omnibar. Throwing that out there.

Yeah, we've discussed it; tricky balance around battery concerns

I'm sure these decisions weren't easy to make. The web was considered a second-class user experience at the time so I see why the focus was put there. Thanks for the help.
