The web in a mobile world dominated by native platforms.
summary
Claim: the web can match native where it matters if browsers ship service worker support and developers adopt an offline-first approach. Evidence: comScore finds 65% download zero apps per month, OpenSignal surveys hundreds of thousands of devices and thousands of distinct models, and only 0.02% of sites use AppCache. Tools and demos: in-browser tooling, WebRTC together.js, Firefox DevTools and plain JavaScript plus a zip helper produce a working thumbnail zipper in the browser.
