A reasonable middle ground, given that iOS already puts PWAs into a separate storage container, would be to exempt those installed apps from this. Thoughts, @johnwilander?

Maybe the idea is that the seven day timer is per-container, and for a homescreen PWA, booting it starts the timer but also immediately credits it so there is no expiry for those?

can it also be said as: if i use it on day 1, I have to use it again before day 8 to avoid deletion. If I use it every 6 days, it won't delete.

The days of use counter means the application is running on a day it has not yet run. So it marks that day as "have run on this day." If seven such days pass without the user interacting with the website (or application), script-writeable storage is cleared.

how does a site run on a day it has not run?

I think that's what they're getting at? Opening Safari ticks the clocks for every site you use in Safari; if you don't open Safari on a given day it doesn't count. A homescreen PWA follows the same rule, & *because* you can't do one without the other, the clock never ticks at all

Honestly I need this explained to me like a 4yo I think.

I read 2 possible interpretations from the updated blog post: 1.) it's fine, PWAs won't get blown away no matter what 2.) some assets in PWAs (opaque responses, content from 3p iframes) could get wiped behind your back Not sure I grok the (unspec'd) behavior enough to tell.
