p.s. If you're wondering why you don't hear more about web apps, it's because Apple and Google hate them. Web apps totally bypass Apple and Google app stores.

Apple and Google enjoy controlling and taxing apps, but they have no control over web apps and don't get any money from them.

Apple even tried to stop web apps completely, luckily they had to back off: https://open-web-advocacy.org/blog/apple-backs-off-killing-web-apps

Web apps are a way of getting apps directly from the people who make them, without big tech getting in the way.

@FediTips I keep hoping the developer verification #Google tries to force on #android can still be averted. But in any case, what I would love to see as a result of this BS move is, to give the idea of #PWA (progressive web apps) a big boost. But maybe the next step is, that #Google sides with #Apple in another attempt to kill #PWA ...

What is a progressive web app? - Progressive web apps | MDNMDN

A progressive web app (PWA) is an app that's built using web platform technologies, but that provides a user experience like that of a platform-specific app.

As you probably heard animated PNG images (APNG) have been standardized! So here's a story on how I used an APNG file to cut a phone's power consumption by 10 times in a common scenario during the weeks leading up to the launch of Firefox OS 1.0. We'll talk about webpage layout, rendering, mobile hardware intricacies, driver bugs and of course APNG files. 🧵 1/16

@gabrielesvelto I still remember #FirefoxOS and I'm still mad at @Mozilla / @mozilla_support / #Mozilla for self-sabotaging because neither me nor @fuchsiii nor anyone else I knew who did #WebDev / #AppDev / #MobileDev could even buy a device.
  • The only device that I was aware of launched in the #EU was a #SimLock'd & #NetLock'd #prepaid phone in #Spain which wouldn't sell it to us since they demanded #KYC with a spanish residency address.

I mean it's cool that one could just use #Firefox as #Emulator but no #mobile#OperatingSystem will have any chance of market attraction if one cannot buy the bloody thing!

  • Same like #OpenMoko: I'd love to get a #Neo1973 but none of the phone and electronic stores had it (and back then I was under 16 so I couldn't just make an account at an online shop)…
