I was asked to find a bunch of spooky sound effects for a charity Haunted Walk event at work. I figured it would be much better to have an app for that, so I created a creepy SFX soundboard as a PWA. It's kind of silly, but it was fun to work on. I used the Dracula theme, which is not just for Halloween!
Released a PWA today. It did not work as well in the real world as it did under test conditions. I think I'm going to have a busy week ahead trying to problem solve a few issues.
So, Apple have decided they will not kill PWA support on iOS devices after all. This is good news. I'll still be switching to a Google Pixel device.
I've been thinking about switching to an Android phone for a while. Thing is, I've not pulled the trigger on this as I've been pretty happy with my iPhone -- it generally just works. Apple's recent shenanigans around PWA support has cemented my decision that my next phone will be a Google Pixel device.
Adding what3words support to an existing PWA. Pleasantly surprised by the clear API documents and ease of set-up. Good job what3words devs!
I normally use Chrome for PWAs, which is an annoyance as I prefer to use Firefox as my browser. Decided to take a look at the Progressive Web Apps for Firefox add-on today and I'm glad I did, it seems to work really well and should mean I can get away with only needing to use Chrome occasionally for testing. addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon…
Updating a PWA to include a Net Promoter Score input. I had no idea what a NPS was, so I'm educating myself with the help of Wikipedia. Apparently it's a market research metric used to predict business growth. It's a proprietary instrument (whatever that means) and there is a registered NPS trademark. It is also favoured by business types and criticised by academics who question its reliability as a tool to predict business growth. Hmm.
Updating a PWA, I only tend to touch this app's code once or twice a year. It takes longer for me to re-familiarise myself with the code than it does to write the update.
PWA Capabilities | web.dev Progressive Web Apps can do more than just rendering content on the screen or connecting to web services. PWAs can deal with files from the file system, they can interact with the system's clipboard, they can access hardware that is connected to the device, and much more. Every Web API is available for your PWA, and there are some extra APIs available when your app is installed.
