@ken_wheeler hey, we're going to a podcast tomorrow about PWA vs React+ReactNative sharing code. Wanna throw some arguments about one or the other thing? I'm sure I won't be able to win a debate with you, so it will be a good repetition :-) /cc @_zouhir @kennethrohde

It's hard to have a reasonable conversation about this without prefacing it with a note about install friction and how you're probably going to lose 80+% of potential users in the native app scenario (no matter how it's built)

Comparing/contrasting them as though it's a pure technical choice leaves out most of the important conversation.

Native platforms are strongly winner-take-all, so unless you're *already* winning your category, everything is about friction

This is why paid app downloads are mostly a historical curio, too: the experience with less friction to trying a service has a massive advantage.

At some level, this is boring. It's business-oriented and not about the tech or how it feels to use or build something. Turns out those are second-order concerns

I'd also stress that in NBU scenarios, app size is an additional friction point. It represents up-front cost (when data costs) and ongoing tax (storage footprint). Smaller is better.
