After four years as a paid Apple Developer, I finally decided to stop paying for it. Instead, I am going to convert my App Store apps into Progressive Web Apps. After a brief Twitter poll, this is the one that I decided to move first. It isn't completely finished, but it's pretty decent so far. Geolocation "just works" due to my use of Capacitor. The app was already an Ionic Framework / Angular app, so converting it into a PWA was nearly effortless. Run it from a mobile device for best results. Construction feedback appreciated. I have already found a few minor bugs.
I was under the impression that support for PWAs in Safari was poor, or at least not rapidly following the spec, as Apple would prefer you develop a native app.
Thanks. I haven’t yet decided how (or even whether) I’ll try to monetize any of these apps. For now I simply want to get them published somewhere permanently. When I do I’ll try to remember to post them on some cataloging sites.
