In the very early days of the Apple Store I remember hearing Steve Jobs saying that Native Apps were just a stage we were moving through, and that in 10 years time (ie 2018) the only platform worth coding for would be the WWW. Obviously native apps are alive and well, but with the rapid evolution of Progressive Web Apps, one must wonder for how long this will be the case.

Whatever the case with the potential future of Native Apps, taking the time to grow the community and evolve the platform within the far more flexible platform of progressive web apps is the smart move.
