I never quite understood the complaint about having to learn a new tech stack to write native apps. As a native app dev, it feels kind of like getting angry that your skills in motorcycle mechanics don't transfer to building rockets.

And this complaint practically always comes from the front end web crew... every other type of developer I've met has zero issues with learning the technologies relevant to a particular platform.

I'm a scientific programmer who just wants to have a few tools available across my devices, mobile as well as desktop.

PWAs are a great idea for me. Getting an Apple developer license is not.

Then don't develop for Apple platforms. We don't want your "apps" anyway.

I want them for me and my friends/family on Apple devices.

WebRTC support is arriving soonish so I'm getting what I want despite the downvotes :)
