Handsome site, but doesn't seem very active sadly.

PWAs really struggle with distribution - it comes down to the PWA maker (or team) having enough charisma, alignment, and budget to get people to follow the kind of arcane instructions for installing each unique PWA.

But in most cases installing a PWA requires nothing more than 'Add to Home screen' in your mobile browser of choice. 5 seconds.
Trying not to be sneering here; most consumers consider this to be offensively difficult compared to the traditional app store experience - I had to do a lot of guides and handholding to get my PWA installed. But, Yea, true for us computer expert guys.
