Native Web Apps: Are we there yet?
summary
Claims that 3% of sampled sites use service workers generating about one fifth of global web traffic and that there are 1.5 million installable sites (Maximiliano Ferdin) anchor the talk. It lists concrete APIs and behaviors: web app manifest plus a service worker with a fetch event for installability, Web Share API and Contact Picker, File System Access API to read/write OS files, web push and notification triggers, shortcuts, display override/window control overlay, url handles and file type handlers, plus many experimental features behind flags and origin trials; some features are production-ready, others still flaky.
