      True story: "Prog web apps" is a back-formation. Every Monday, @slightlylate would burst into the Chromium steering meeting yelling "when are you gonna make add to homescreen better"? Engineers would say "Probably Wednesday, Alex". After 2 years, "PWA! <eye-roll>", and it stuck.

      I should write up all these "untold histories of the web" one day...

      I can definitely verify that from the outside it seemed as though @slightlylate was doing this. It was a big part of what we discussed on TAG when we were both on it.

      Yeah, I think @w3ctag got a preview of PWAs in...Jan '14? Earlier?

      Also, we only named it because describing or over and over and over again was getting super tedious. Needed something pithier when @johnallsopp invited me to give a talk.

      Ok, I'll own up to being the source of the above quote. But to be clear I wasn't quibbling about the name: I think it's useful. To me, being "basically a website" is a v good thing, and that's what I was trying to convey (in the context of a 5 min talk)

      yes, indeed. That's the beautiful thing about PWAs. You hit the nail on the head.

      everything “is just a website”. The rest is embellishments.

      Replying to @johnallsopp @brucel and

      Definitely true when it comes to all the varieties of web thing, but I think "just a website" is useful to contrast with native apps. As in: "It's always up-to-date (because it's really just a website)" "It's easily shareable via URL (because it's really just a website)" ...etc.

      Replying to @nickautomatic @johnallsopp and

      I think this is true. Back in the early Ember days, most SPAs were "native apps in the web" with little support for good URLs etc. It was a big deal when we got out there and pushed people to design web apps to feel like web sites. So awesome that it's standard now. 😍
