I’m glad I never got on the npm train. For websites, It always seemed more fragile and complex than the old method. And the casual ease of initial use seemed likely to encourage lazy assessment and inclusion of bad code. https://social.lol/@bw/111293266036805485

that "every program expands until it can read mail" feels outdated now when every program starts off as a fully fledged web browser

and then they remove history, bookmarks, the back button, inspect, view source, plugins, user scripts

and then you get mail i guess but god help you if you want to sort it in reverse

question: What's a good alternative for Chrome's standalone PWA-s?

I’ve recently switched to Firefox and I feel like it’s overall a better experience – I just really miss the convenience of installing Progressive Web Applications as a standalone apps, or creating shortcuts from existing websites....
