@baldur I like the idea of centralizing the engine running this sort of application, but am worried about tying that engine to a specific browser. Really interested to see where this sort of thing goes, though.

@eli Yeah. I’m really hoping that other browsers will follow suit once the overall value of the idea has been proven.

@baldur do you think the functionality needs to be tied to a browser? Why not the OS?

@eli Oh, OS absolutely. By 'browsers’ in the earlier note I meant extending the functionality of built-in browsers and browser views to bake PWA support into the OS..

@baldur And to be even more specific, I meant Apple iOS and macOS since Microsoft is already exploring baking PWA support directly into the platform.
