Currently reading this on the Dev.to PWA and it's excellent. One click to install and use, it's now on my apps menu and responds to link clicks in other apps like a native app.

Downloading apps feels a hassle and don't get me started on all the permissions they ask for. No I don't want to share my contacts, location, message history or anything with you Mr wallpaper app.

Having your app in the same code language let alone the same codebase is fantastic.

Just a note on permissions.
PWAs inherit your browser's permissions. They might not bug you about it but they have them. Which is a bit scarier.
