PWAs (Progressive Web Apps) are still the future

I believe that PWAs (Progressive Web Apps) are still the future. Currently, they are often disregarded as a dying trend because users don't install them and are generally unaware of their benefits. However, this overlooks the significant advantages that PWAs bring to the table.

As the name suggests, the essence of PWAs is that a web app can become powerful once it's given the right permissions.

In his post "Progressive Web Apps: Escaping Tabs Without Losing Our Soul", which coined the term "Progressive Web Apps," Alex Russell outlines the attributes of these applications:

Rather than viewing PWAs simply as "web apps that can be installed," we should see them as web applications that adhere to a set of guidelines designed to benefit the user, with installability being just one of those benefits.

By looking at PWAs in this light, we can move away from the idea that PWAs are solely installable web apps. Instead, we can see them as robust web applications with features that enhance user experience and empower the web platform.
