I might be late to the party, but what the fuck is this?
Sure, Progressive Web Apps (PWA) have always been a shitshow on iOS, but has Apple essentially killed them now?

I've been excited about #ProgressiveWebApps since the very beginning--the ability to "install" a website to give it all the capabilities of a native app is all I've ever wanted my whole career.
So I really hate to admit that I've stopped using them entirely.
It's just not worth the confusion when you switch between browsers; is this #PWA installed in Chrome or Opera? Is this version of Spotify the native app, or will my widevine settings in @brave make it stop working?

Firefox plant Unterstützung für Progressive Web Apps: https://fosstopia.de/firefox-plant-pwas/
Das ist wirklich nützlich und geht bei Chrome ja schon lange. Wobei der Ansatz ja noch etwas anders ist mit "Die neue Lösung erlaubt es jede Webseite mit einem Klick in eine Web-App zu verwandeln.". Ich bin sehr gespannt.

Mozilla is paving the way for bringing support for Progressive Web Apps back to Firefox. They'll still look and function like browser tabs rather than standalone apps, but they'll show up more like apps in the OS as "taskbar tabs." #Mozilla #Firefox #TaskbarTabs #ProgressiveWebApps #WebApps #WebBrowsers https://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2025/03/firefox-nightly-supports-web-apps-taskbar-tabs

In my spare time I've been playing around with a basketball stat-tracking app I built in mostly Vanilla JS and Bootstrap. Users interact with the app through a SVG canvas, where they can tap the court, select a player, and record an action. The results are tracked to show player stats at the end of the game.
I've been the only user so far, though I'm hoping to share soon with other parents. It is a PWA, offline app that stores data on the local device.

As a #WebDev, I've been a fan of replacing Native Apps with #ProgressiveWebApps. I have been installing and using them whenever available since they were first announced.
Honestly, I'm beginning to wonder if #PWAs are even a good idea; I often find myself reaching for the browser toolbar which is unavailable in PWAs.
The only thing they do is provide a nice shortcut from the startmenu, or app launcher, but since most of the PWAs I use are social Media I don't even really *want* that!

What Are And How To Install Web Apps For The Fediverse
Over the years, people have often considered apps and websites to be two totally different things. In some cases they certainly are, but in other cases they can be one in the same for the most part. Today, I’m going to explain what the differences are and how to install websites as web apps on your device.
What Is The Difference Between A Web App And A Website?
A website is a series of webpages that are typically accessed through a web browser and are hosted on a web server. A web application is a software program that is accessed through a web browser and runs on a web server. The main difference is that a website is static and a web application is dynamic. A web application is more interactive and dynamic, often providing functionality, interactivity, and data processing beyond what a static website offers which often makes them more useful in various ways.
Should I Use A Website Or A Web App?
That decision is really up to you and what you need, want or prefer. Websites can certainly be useful or quick to use and navigate, while the web app version might give you more control as far as customization or even options and settings are concerned.
How To Install Web Apps On An Android Device
- Open the web browser of choice and navigate to your servers website. For example, I would navigate to AllThingsTech.social which is my server/instance.
- Log into your account for your server/instance.
- Open the browsers options menu which is usually the over flow button(︙) often located in the top right corner.
- Click on Install App
- You should get a prompt asking for confirmation of the install and you’ll simply click Install.
- Click on the new icon that was just created and log into your server/instance once again.
Special Note: Often times Android won’t allow you to install a web app if you’re not logged into your account via the browser you’re trying to install from. Therefore it’s always suggested to be logged into your server/instance first before attempting to install it as a web app.
How To Install Web Apps On An iOS Device
- Open the browser of your choice and navigate to your servers website. For example, I would navigate to AllThingsTech.social which is my server/instance.
- Click the Share icon at the bottom of the screen. This icon looks like a box with an arrow pointing upwards.
- Scroll through the options and click Add To Home Screen.
- Give the icon any name you want and confirm the installation by clicking Add.
- Click on the new icon that was just created and log into your server/instance once again.
Do Web Apps Provide Notifications?
Yes, now days due to how popular and how often used web apps are, notifications will work just like they would for a regular app in most cases. These notifications can be controlled from within the web app itself or your System Settings. Often times, you can control notifications from either/or of the above mentioned.
Are Progressive Web Apps Something Different?
Progressive Web Apps, or PWA’s as they are referred to in short term, is just a different name for a web app. While sure, there can be slight differences in how they behave or other things, they will almost always act the same. Just a newer term for a newer era so to speak.
Aren’t These All Just Bookmarks?
Web Apps and bookmarks serve different purposes within your browser. Below is a list of the key differences between web apps and bookmarks.
Web Apps
- Functionality: Web apps are standalone applications that run in the browser, often providing a more interactive and feature-rich experience. They can work offline and may have access to device hardware.
- Installation: Users can install web apps directly from the app web store, website and other places. Once installed, they appear in the app launcher or as a shortcut on the desktop.
- User Interface: Web apps can offer a custom user interface and may resemble native applications, with their own windows and menus.
- Updates: Web apps receive updates automatically from the developers, ensuring users have the latest features and improvements.
Bookmarks
- Functionality: Bookmarks are simply saved links to web pages. They allow users to quickly access their favorite sites without needing to remember or type the URLs.
- Storage: Bookmarks are stored in the browser and can be organized into folders for easier navigation.
- Access: Users can access bookmarks from the bookmarks bar, the bookmarks menu, or through the bookmarks manager. They do not have a separate window or interface like web apps.
- Static: Bookmarks do not change unless manually edited or deleted; they simply point to the same URL unless the page itself changes.
Fediverse Apps That Can Be Installed As A Web App?
Below is a list of a few different Fediverse apps that you can easily and quickly install as a web app. This is far from a complete list as there are likely hundreds that can be installed as a web app. If you’d like to have your Fediverse site added to this list for others to discover, please let me know and I will add it accordingly.
Hopefully this article helps you understand a bit more of what the differences are between a website and a web app, or a PWA as they are often referred to now days.
