are pwas cooked?

I’m 45 years old and using cooked to mean something that it never meant. I don’t know when it happened, but it’s out there along with vibe. Anyway… This post is all personal opinion. Before we go too deep, I just want to ground some of this article in the definition of a PWA. MDN has a good overview. “A progressive web app (PWA) is an app that’s built using web platform technologies, but that provides a user experience like that of a platform-specific app.”

I dislike the common practice of service workers (like hotel or restaurant workers or store clerks) calling me "boss." I'm not their boss, and they aren't slaves, certainly mine. I wish we lived in a culture that didn't encourage this kind of casual subservience of workers.

And as usual @rosa's talk is a definite recommendation to listen.
This time it's about #serviceworkers and offline support in #hotwire / #hotwirenative.

@DimlyLitCorners it seems that #ATProto has adopted CIDs and maybe some other pieces of IPFS so maybe piecemeal adoption will get us to standardization one day!

In the mean time, there's a P2P IPFS implementation that currently works in browsers using #ServiceWorkers! Each individual website would need to include this for it to work, but it's a start! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qtIJXRgxjVA

Service Workers for IPFS on the Web

All the promises of native capabilities have failed to materialize; #ServiceWorkers don't always stay active in the background, Share Targets often get hijacked with phony URLs, Installed PWAs don't always appear in the platform's App management GUIs, syncing between devices doesn't always happen, Notifications have gotten so abused that nobody even wants them anymore!
I’m currently working on my voice-training app (#FTVT) and despairing at the communication with the service-worker: I can send a message to it, it can receive it and I can send a response. But no matter what I try the response never arrives with the original content-script…
