[This is not an endorsement of Jeremy or Apple's opinion] The TAG invited Jeremy to talk about web installs at our F2F last week, as a rep for devs. It's the 1st time (in my time) that we've invited a dev to get their direct input into standards work & the consensus was that we should do it more!

On Apple’s refusal to consider installable web apps. Very relevant to the news industry: we at NYT can afford dev teams to make mobile apps but a lot of smaller news orgs can’t. And they’d really benefit from things like home screen icons, web push… if only Apple made the install path discoverable.
