Is that actually their app? It looks like a poorly designed PWA.

Every time you see "try it in our app!"

a poor developers soul was sacrificed to make a PWA.

They're not too hard to make. The service worker is most of the effort imo.

Most frameworks it's relatively free

I let you in on a secret.. I actually think they're really neat, just really not useful for the applications most prevalent (news sites, etc. where you likely want to be online anyway)... but that's got me thinking a wiki PWA would be sweet to cache articles.. and that is all I can think of lol

they can still help improve perceived startup time by caching layout, CSS, and some static pages.

Websites can never request this data.
