Yep. We're now really close to the original iPhone launch promise of "Want a new app that isn't shipped with the phone by Apple? Just build it as a web app!"

(Although to be honest, apart from push notifications, which are still vapourware right now, we've been able to replace almost everything native apps do with web apps for a while now. I'll be super curious to see how stuff like Rust and WASM go using some of these newly announced features...)

Yup. Really hope PWAs don't go the way of web components. There's been some genuinely incredible work done on that set of APIs and I'd hate to see it looked over.

The web is in a really funny place right now. It's easier to synthesize audio to read your blogpost to the user in whatever dialect you want than it is to style a number input consistently across browsers
