>By saying we're all web devs here, I mean you should've already expected that we have an impression of job posts, Reddit, Hacker News, Google Search¹ trends, Github ecosystem, or even npm download trends. We start the argument there.

I can't tell if you're just accidentally incoherent or if you're just using some generated slop that makes no sense in the flow of the discussion. You claimed that the web ecosystem is "sparse", it's not. The ecosystem of the web is vastly superior to anything else. I don't see how your new twist makes any sense in that context.

>But of course you've brought nothing of the like to this discussion, so I don't know wtf you're thinking when you say you've brought the "thorough" debunking. I looked over your discussion history just to be sure I didn't miss anything because there's the implication of another post somewhere else. There's nothing to be missed, everyone is free to look at your history and your concept of thorough analysis.

I really have no interest in entertaining your gaslighting, the evidence is indeed in my history for everybody to look at, so you must be putting in extra effort of upholding your rhetoric and the resulting cognitive dissonance:

>I bring up Google because I care about Android. PWAs absolutely could have a chance to win in Android land over Kotlin, React Native, or Flutter. And now Google just talks about it less and less.

I swear your whole post is so contradictory and strangely written that it feels like generated by an llm that couldn't get a proper grip on the discussion. Since your initial comment was peak zero effort comment that just stated something everybody is already aware of and concluded with an unsubstantiated claim that had just been properly refuted.



Ok, my apologies, it really doesn't show up in your history. Your user page doesn't show anything fresher than 16 hours. Next time I should scrape the page more carefully to check for your replies in other threads.

However, I looked through all the posts you just linked. I still have nothing quantitative on whether "PWAs never took off". It's so much analysis on Apple.

> There isn't just Apple, there's also Google which is a big promoter of PWA's, and in fact they popularized the term. PWA's just never took off.

I just want to know what's popular, and I care about Android. You can care about why Apple is the reason everything is happening.

> That's just the lazy manufactured and false narrative that I've already thoroughly debunked. I'm not going to repeat it, since you would just ignore it again.

This is how you replied to me. You say "ignore it again" but this is the first time we spoke and all I can see is up-thread. That's what I mean by prejudice.

"Nothing quantitative"? You either dont know what that word means or you're unable to grasp what you're reading. I've explained in great detail why PWAs couldn't live up to their potential. The reason why there is "so much analysis on Apple" is because they, as a dominant gatekeeper, have actively engaged in sabotage of PWAs in defense of their App Store by treating PWAs as an existential threat. (See? You're making me repeat myself again, because you either refuse to reflect on what you're actually reading or you are simply not able to connect the dots and realize that i've already answered your question)

>This is how you replied to me. You say "ignore it again" but this is the first time we spoke and all I can see is up-thread. That's what I mean by prejudice.

I said that "you would ignore it again" (which you have just done btw) precisely because that's not the "first time we spoke", your comment was in response to my comment and that comment of mine already explained that Apple sabotaged PWAs. You simply ignored that and baselessly claimed that "PWAs 'just' didn't take off" with no effort to substantiate your claim whatsoever. So it's not me being "prejudiced", it's an objective prediction based on your behavior which you have just proven, my prediction was spot on.
