You shouldn’t use Chrome’s PWACompat library in your Progressive Web Apps
I know I’m starting this article with a strong title. But it’s not a click-bait title, it’s my recommendation; in this post, I will explain the reason. The Chrome team released last week a new library: PWACompat (see post and GitHub repository). The library claims to “bring Web App Manifest to older browsers” but the consequences of injecting that script can lead to bad user experiences.

Don’t use iOS meta tags irresponsibly in your Progressive Web Apps
In the last months I’ve seen several apps creating what is known as a “Progressive Web App”. After 10 years of advocating using web technologies to create web experiences, this is a great time. Although I want to focus here on a big user experience issue that most of these apps are having today on Safari on iOS because of a meta tag that is being used irresponsibly.

Is Apple trying to hinder PhoneGap and other HTML5 frameworks with iOS 4.3?
Last week Apple released iOS 4.3 and the new Nitro engine was presented inside Safari on iOS for iPhone, iPod Touch and iPad. The iPad 2 with iOS 4.3 is on its way in US and worldwide in next days. However, a new situation was discovered last days alarming a lot of developers: Nitro is not available for PhoneGap and other webapp-related solutions. Is it a deliberate attempt to hinder PhoneGap and other HTML5 frameworks?

iPhone 4 and iOS 4 Safari detection & behavior
As you may know, iPhone 4 was released a few days ago; I didn’t buy an iPhone 4, but I’ve just been in Apple Store San Francisco making some testing over iPhone 3GS with iOS4, iPhone 4 and also with my iPad (iOS 3.2) and iPod Touch (iOS 3.1). After that, I’ve found many interesting behaviors that worth to be mentioned here. Unfortunately, there is no official documentation in Safari Guidelines for iPhone 4 yet to listen an official version.
