A web app used every day should feel comfortable beside the person’s other tools.

A customer adding your site to their phone’s Home Screen is giving it a small place in their daily routine.

A customer portal is often buried among browser tabs even when someone uses it every day.

A delivery update belongs on a phone.

A surveyor opens a job on a phone, walks into a building with poor reception and needs the notes to remain available.

Chrome’s file-handling experiment points towards more integrated PWAs, but the ordinary upload route still matters.

Chrome 84’s app-icon shortcuts are most useful when they remove a genuine repeated step.
Chrome 76 checks WebAPK manifests more frequently. Installation metadata, cached resources and server data still update through different routes.

Trusted Web Activities bring full-screen Chrome content into Android apps, with verified ownership and shared browser state. The journey still needs careful boundaries.
