As a big fan of the web, I still fail to get what significant advantage PWAs are supposed to have. Still seems like a completely unnecessary marketing effort to me. Am I missing something?

Respectfully, yes. #PWAs give you the app experience using standards-based tech rather than proprietary languages and walled-garden app stores. #PWAs give you a rich offline/airplane-mode experience #PWAs are better for low-end devices and bandwidth pwastats.com

But Scott, I don’t actually *want* an “app experience “. Why would I? Offline may be useful, but most of the time an unconnected PWA is largely useless

Any examples? A well-crafted offline experience is a real killer feature.

Well, if you don’t want the app experience, then I agree with you that Progressive Web *Apps* will not be your cup of tea. #grin I agree that an unconnected Uber PWA is of limited use, but intelligent caching of PWA bus/train schedules, airline tickets, hotel reservations, etc…
