      Is it an application platform that should strive for feature parity vs. native? Or is it a safer platform, for which its limits are a reasonable price to pay for its ubiquity, simplicity, and safety?

      It's a false dichotomy. It could be built to parity but more safely than other platforms.

      ...and we're doing it. The question, however, is if the native app ecosystems will continue to enable pervasive user predation in ways that we don't but which are profitable. Not optimistic about the rate of change there.

      “Pervasive user predation”, besides being a great name for a rock band, is often pronounced “seamless user experience without confusing prompts.”

      What prompts do you wish the web had...?

      @ericlaw is highlighting that it's not the *web's* prompts that are the issue. Our unilateral disarmament only seals the web's fate on mobile -- Keynes' old saw about market irrationality and all that

      On one hand, multiple (imo, inexcusable) delays in building out all the needed APIs and ongoing friction in getting better-than-native but still "scary" starting points to iterate from. On the other, --redacted--.

      We're back at it with 🐡 -- absolutely better late than never -- but still too much counterfactual friction informed by the notion that if you don't build it, people will virtuously understand your thoughtful choice (rather than route around).

      The result of long-term apathy about really competing coupled w/ short-term product planning at many browser vendors is the web squabbling its way to irrelevance on mobile.

      A lot of browser peeps seem to have a view of ecosystems that presumes that they just *happen* and that the most virtuous platform wins...which, uncomfortably, makes me the serial deliverer of bad news.
