People absolutely do build apps for a vision. I'm shocked to hear you say this.

We tried vision. Didn’t work. People build for reach not to feel good. Hard to blame them

Vision is not about "feel good". It's about convincing people that you have a reason to exist that justifies the pain of another thing, and convincing them you'll stick around long enough to see it through.

In this case, big apps couldn't help but see FFOS as a crappier Windows Phone. Another platform to support with painful restrictions and nothing to justify the extra work. As a developer, I was praying for these platforms to die.

Yep. What you needed was fewer devs hoping for failure, and "we worked kind of fast to get a subset of native features working poorly on slow phones" didn't do that. I have no idea if the PWA vision would have fared better, but the pitch wouldn't have given me (a dev) the shakes

"If you build a <FFPWA>, it'll work on mobile, and of course it'll work on FirefoxOS, because FirefoxOS is just the web. But if you target FFOS, not only will your app work on the web, but it will also have superpowers when running inside of FFOS"

FFOS started in 2011. PWA were far from being a thing then.

Hosted apps were left behind without a pot to piss in / Anne started saying this to anyone who’d listen / “Packaged apps cannot be shipped to Firefox devices…”

“Don’t say a thing. KaiOS will prove them wrong.” “But sir!” “We’ve APIs to ship, let’s move along.”
