Is a new Cross-platform Development Era coming

" summary

Claims that the web can become a true cross‑platform runtime with PWAs and concrete features: Project Fugu surfaces hardware APIs, service workers enable offline and background behavior, and push notifications reach users even when apps aren’t open. Evidence shows Chrome/Chromium (Blink) on desktop and many Android vendors supporting installable PWAs; iOS remains limited and browser fragmentation creates capability gaps. Tradeoffs include performance differences, missing hardware access on some platforms, and an ecosystem problem of user acquisition versus native store distribution.
