alt Hacker NewsPeople outside tech just get installation instructions and do not care if it’s app store or something else. This is how sanctioned Russian banks continue to serve their customers via apps, when they cannot get into app store. The number of users of PWA is probably on the scale of millions.
I had no idea! Cool to learn.
It definitely makes complete sense in that scenario, but remains a very niche usecase where people have no other option.
>People outside tech just get installation instructions
People outside of tech don't need instructions to install non-PWA, store apps. So all this does to me is reinforce that no one is installing PWAs outside of niche scenarios where 1. people basically have to use the app due to a connection to a physical institution 2. they are explicitly told how to do it 3. the app is not available on the stores for legal reasons.
