That's the reason I sigh :smile: I remember asking about packaged apps in the first Chrome Dev Summit. You told me they weren't the future, but Chrome would have to circle back around. Chrome leadership and FF leadership, on the other hand, were in love with packaged apps.

Packed apps were a hack because app cache was so horrible. It was a quick fix.
@fabricedesre hacked it in a day or two. Took years to get the real thing in place. We had to ship so some day we can do the right thing. That day never came3 replies 0 retweets 0 likes -

> With an API like this, the current AppCache could be written as a library! The vision was available, but we got very little engagement at the time. It's the reason I wrote the Extensible Web Manifesto, in fact (to try to improve engagement on these ideas).

@slightlylate came even earlier, and was shouting from the rooftops at the time. We ran for TAG with @annevk to try and make this happen. Crickets.
