Installable web apps
Since I discovered the web I believed it was the future. It gives everyone freedom to create the content they want to create and everybody can consume it no matter what operating system they are running. As technology moved forward, smartphones came to be. Smartphones are awesome, but with it came some regression. The creators of the platforms encouraged developers to create applications that only run on their platforms by offering an interface that was only available if you developed natively.
Browsers caught up pretty fast and came up with APIs for some of the most important features native apps provide (location, sensors, etc…). But there is still something about native apps that makes them somewhat better…engagement. It is not the same to have to open a browser and type a URL than to click an icon on your phone’s home screen.
