The headless web and the future of the web on mobile.

on YouTube ↗51m

" summary

Claims that the web can be installed but ephemeral and compete with apps coexist with hard numbers: about 6 million new mobile users a month in India and ~86% of time spent in native apps (web ~12–14%). Concrete tools and results: Service Worker enables offline caching, background sync and push that wake a background script and already works on Android and desktop; push notifications reach Android Wear; add-to-home-screen manifests produce app‑like launch; Physical Web beacons broadcast URLs; chrome custom tabs and preconnects shave 2–3s startup.
