That they allow you like I do on Android to use PWAs the same as installed apps. Just like I am right now on Android to talk to you. A simple Google would tell you what a PWA is

Furthermore do you use safari on desktop? Is it actually good? Do you for some reason want apple to do as little as possible? Why? I don't get your angle here. Defend apple at all costs?

I'm using Chrome right now to talk to you. I tried the Twitter PWA on iOS for a while actually. It was pretty good, but the UX wasn't quite as smooth as the native app. Not because of something iOS did, just because native UI frameworks make building polished apps easier.

My question was what PWA features are still missing on iOS? It's been pretty good recently.

Off the top of my head: Nav Preload, storage quota (Safari's is whack), anything worklet based (which is how we will get good UX), push notifications, durable storage, splash screens from manifest...I'm sure I'm forgetting a dozen. Its a huge list, and each one blocks a major org

Is it bad that I’m a web dev and I’ve never even heard of most of those features let alone needed them in a production app? I can’t be the only one... Maybe engine priorities aren’t aligned with web dev needs?

Thats totally valid imo, people build different things on the web. I will say though, ive talked to dozens of developers building app experiences on the web and Safari seems to always be the "well, this works everywhere but here" browser. Ive seen this harm the web 1/2

to because teams then decide to go native on all platforms just because Safari does not have support for things their PWA needs, even though its in every other browser.

I find it hard to believe that this choice would be made only because Safari didn’t have a few optimizations. You could easily ship a normal web page. There has to be other factors: UX, delivery mechanism, etc.

Not a few optiomizations. Bugs every. Not supporting import details I'm many API. It's close to impossible to make native-like experience on iOS. While on Android it's really possible. Keyboard is pain. Viewport is pain. Fixed and ScrollViews is pain. Iframe is pain. Etc.

We really want to have great "mini apps" on the web and make the web "super app", as it supposed to be. But damn, you can't just display websites in websites in iOS. I know you the pain with AMP. It's even worse for us because we run full web apps.
