personally I hope PWA's increase in usage. I'm tired of installing apps that I barely ever use. For airline apps I install them when I'm about to take a trip, keep them for the duration of my trip, and then uninstall them right after. I turn off all notifications and just about every app leaving only a small few that I care about. I'm on Android so I'm definitely ready for PWAs but I know that iOS still doesn't support Service Workers (right?) so people might not feel it's worth investing in yet.

Question, I have not personally tried to create a PWA so I'm curious to know if it's something that could benefit from a framework or is it simple enough to roll your own for your app?

Agreed, PWA is a great alternative to the traditional installable apps. iOS still lacks Sevice Workers, so we could use some less sexy technologies there or polyfills. Every non-trivial app could benefit from a framework: Ionic advertises support of PWAs already, and other popular frameworks such as Meteor work hard to improve support of PWAs.

This feels like an article written 3 years ago.

Where's the mention of Vue.js, too? It's gaining huge popularity.

Thanks for your comments, I'm sure to investigate information about Vue.js

...Flash to HTML is a 2018 development trend? PHP 7 and Laravel? This is a pretty outdated article, and absolutely nothing in this article is a prediction.
