I've noticed a lot of consumer embedded products have been using PWAs for flashing and configuring devices (Meshtastic, Meshcore, Betaflight, am32 configurator, etc). I have to open Chromium to use them because they don't work with my normal browser (and I probably don't want my normal browser being able to access arbitrary USB devices).

Do you prefer to have everything as a native application then?

[–] sobchak@programming.dev 2 points 32 minutes ago

I guess there's a blurry line between an "application" and a web site. But, generally, for open source applications, I'd rather them be native. Preferably, the applications would actually be native (e.g. Qt, GTK, Jetpack Compose, etc).
