  • Weekend Coder: Progressive Web Apps

    This is completely random but I read a TechCrunch article about how Windows Phone could make a comeback in part because of Progressive Web Apps. I’ll be honest: this has been a desire of mine since Apple released the very first iPhone “apps” which were intended to be apps that worked with the phone APIs.
