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?

From User or Developer perspective?

Both, but mostly for users, after all developers don’t really matter

From a user perspective using Twitter's PWA and comparing to a web app: 1. Push notifications - dunno if i get them from a web app. 2. I would hate it if Twitter would be just one of X browser tabs. I want direct access to it. I dont want it to be burried in the tab selector.

I use the mobile Twitter app but I’m not aware I’m using any of its PWA features (I most definitely don’t get, nor want, push notifications on iOS). I tap mobile Safari’s address bar and it’s the very first hit
