#progressivewebapps

As a #WebDev, I've been a fan of replacing Native Apps with #ProgressiveWebApps. I have been installing and using them whenever available since they were first announced.

Honestly, I'm beginning to wonder if #PWAs are even a good idea; I often find myself reaching for the browser toolbar which is unavailable in PWAs.

The only thing they do is provide a nice shortcut from the startmenu, or app launcher, but since most of the PWAs I use are social Media I don't even really *want* that!

#ProgressiveWebApps (#PWAs) can act as a #shareTarget for other #apps on #Android.

So when I added this feature to my app, it seemed fine to call the url `/share`.

And when I saved them to the #database I just went with it and named the table `shares`.

But here's the thing; I have my app installed on my phone too. I use the `share` feature to "post" to my website.

So, now my posts go in the `shares` table.
