Exploring ServiceWorkers for Discourse

Sorry, argument has probably since been won, but have to say:

  • I :heart_eyes: the mobile friendliness of Discourse, it’s one of the reasons I became addicted to it … its like having a mini community in your pocket! My users love that!
  • I :heart_eyes: the fact that it’s a web app and not an ‘app’. Web apps are so much more immediate, there’s nothing to install and it’s instantly cross platform - what’s not to like about web apps, especially considering the huge sophistication of browsers nowadays? Web apps are far more ‘progressive’. I just wish Safari had browser notifications on mobile like they do on desktop (so we wouldn’t need the ‘app’) … but I understand this depends on Service Worker implementation … and that’s coming? … well they are in the latest Beta on mobile!
