I have been installing some PWAs lately at work and... I love them. They have been replacing the need for electron and they also feel integrated with the OS.

In chrome, there is always a button to "bring back" the app from pwa into a browser tab (really nice). There is the option to open links directly in the pwa, you can access your extension from a small icon. I read that on the specs there might be an option to keep tabs around, for things like notion where your might need tabs (that would be really cool).

Overall, I'm impressed positively. Apple it's right to be scared about those, I would use PWAs for everything that's online for sure, for stuff that's offline probably too.

Excalidraw is great as PWA :)




> Chrome PWAs have been replacing the need for Electron

Isn't Electron based on Chromium?


Yes, it was suggesting it from a weird side: a user that thinks the need for releasing electron apps is way less now.

It's a weird side because I have no control over an app using electron or not.


Thank you very much, Excalidraw is the best PWA implementation I have seen so far.
