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!

> For 7 years, #Google has failed to keep its commitment to share the ability to install #WebApps with third-party #browsers on #Android, despite public requests from #Samsung, #Microsoft, #Brave & #Kiwi #browser.

#ProgressiveWebApps (#PWAs) can act as a #shareTarget for other #apps on #Android.

So when I added this feature to my app, it seemed fine to call the url `/share`.

And when I saved them to the #database I just went with it and named the table `shares`.

But here's the thing; I have my app installed on my phone too. I use the `share` feature to "post" to my website.

So, now my posts go in the `shares` table.

> Starting in ChromeOS 126, Tabbed Mode for PWAs will allow windowed installs to simply open those external tabs right in the same window. It looks exactly like you’d expect, with the same tab integration that Chrome uses, but it works right in the window you are using.
