Do we have examples of companies doing PWAs to compete to their native apps?Most are "Lite" versions. They are afraid of taking the big step

Most of the "Lite" branding belies (near) feature equivalence: Twitter, Lyft, Flipkart, etc. Seriously, try both native and their PWAs.

And "lite" refers to the user value of not needing to wade through an app install. Also a nice way not to raise hackles of native teams.

Twitter is promoting the PWA as Opera promoting Opera Mini, not the full Opera browser. And Twitter is not the only one.

It's turned on for all of https://mobile.twitter.com . Flipkart "Lite" is all of http://Flipkart.com on mobile, etc. Watch what they *do*.

Flipkart is great example. But they still promote the installation of their native app within the PWA. It's like two steps forward, one back

You're on iOS...It's reasonable for brands to try to get installs there; Apple blocks meaningful PWA support

I saw the banners on Android. In fact it happened live on a conference. Not sure if it's still there or not. But it was an unclear message

Good businesses experiment. You might try asking @nagarajuepuri, tho.

We are in the process of completely removing traces of "App Install" page and killing it. If you saw one previously, it's due to tech glitch

We strive to provide best possible experience wherever user lands(including all features) "Lite" or "No Lite" is just a name of product
