I want to know what popular social media apps are now using PWA? These popular social media apps should be available in Yappadappadoo app store so that people will support your project.
They admit in their whitepaper that some of the applications in apple store and play store are already using PWA so it means PWA will not be the first feature to be used by Yappadappadoo but they will use in most of their applications so they can work with no problems with older devices.
That's a basic for an app store. Apps that are popularly used and well sold should be available in any app store since that's where the market will go to. Social media apps is a must for any app store.
If they want to be a popular store, then they should be a store where everyone can easily find what they need. In the form of app store, those popular social media apps are part of what a normal user looks for, so they should be there.
Of course, they know that I have no doubt about that. What they will do is convert it to PWA so that it can be used more efficiently. What I am waiting are those apps known to be consuming too much memory from our mobile devices like facebook. I will be the first one who will download a Facebook Mobile Apps which is a Progressive Web Apps (PWA) already.
Facebook is already PWA and still will be consuming a lot of memory, I think. When browsing facebook, if the connection suddenly got disconnected, you can still browse pre-loaded page and pre-loaded videos and I think there's a setting for that.
Yes, also twitter, it's already PWA. Facebook is not really that much PWA but it will be, PWA is the future!
Many news sites and online shopping sites are PWA, also google maps!
Here's an article I found regarding Facebook implementing PWA in their platform!
https://react-etc.net/entry/facebook-takes-first-steps-to-progressive-web-apps-pwaFacebook has not yet fully embraced the PWA requirements, but the journey has begun. The first step they've taken is the Manifest file placed on the Mobile Facebook site (
https://m.facebook.com/data/manifest ), but the emergence of fully fledged capabilities of offline support, sharing API, and other browser native features is only a matter of time.
I clicked on the link but I don't get it? What is that? Manifest file? Does it only work on the mobile version? What is it used for? It's just one step so it's not really a big part of PWA?
There's not much point in knowing since one won't really understand how it works unless you're into github and code stuff but in lighter terms, facebook started using manifest, manifest is a file, a json file like when you create a MEW wallet you may save a json file other than the private key.
True that, use google, you can find out everything about it there. It's a norm for most apps to use manifest since that actually gives the "add to homescreen" function after app installation. Check this out for some light reading:
https://developers.google.com/web/fundamentals/web-app-manifest/Manifest is just basic, one of the service workers that will be automatically downloaded upon installation and it has more functions than that. Then there's more to PWA than Manifest. It's a lot if you are gonna go into detail.
Service workers are different from manifest. Service workers and manifest need to be integrated for the platform to work properly. If you check the site mentioned above, there's a separate tab for manifest and service worker at the bottom of the page.
I see, so facebook isn't actually PWA yet. There's a lot about to know about PWA but the question is will it be practical for them to fully adapt PWA since it would still consume a lot of memory and the functions are very minimal? I really thought they are already PWA because there was a message saying "You can still post while offline", I think that's a PWA service worker functionality since it would sync and get posted once you go online.
I see, so service workers run the scripts in the background, manifest makes them appear in the actual platform. Literally works the services and literally manifest. The service workers will be in charge on the offline capabilities as well as online syncing.
That is correct! Here is an easy application regarding manifest and service workers(PWA using app shell):
https://developers.google.com/web/fundamentals/codelabs/your-first-pwapp/That's basically it but the actual developing or creating your own or implementing to your own app isn't as easy as it looks.
Facebook is using service workers. Facebook is not yet that much of a PWA but they are using the same technology, so they just apply manifest and service workers to improve their system. Yes, the offline capability is done by service worker.
Facebook media cannot be use without internet even Twitter and others, perhaps PWA is only good for the offline I don't know if I am right
with my thought. But according to its whitepaper to increase the number of PWA provided in our App Store, yappadappadoo will provide an
integrated drag & drop suite simplifying the creation and development of PWA, the yappadappadoo-Suite. An extremely attractive incentive-
program will further boost the availability of PWA.
The actual use or purpose of apps are usually online, say social media apps or trivago or flipkart, but what PWA does is give offline capabilities, so that even if you go offline, there are still things that you can do and it increases user engagement.
