    on the other hand, stop putting apps in webpages

    • Apps were not supposed to be given a constrained execution environment that is years behind what the hardware can do
    • Years of internet and no real world use-case for using anything other than Lotus 123
    • Wanted to do something else for a laugh? We had a tool for that: It was called “Games”
    • “Yes please let my hardware be useless without internet access” - Statements dreamed up by the utterly Deranged

      Service workers are supported by every web browser and enable websites to work offline. They can even do periodic background pushes/refreshes.
