Most services are not going to bother developing in UWP. It's one of the best chances for apps that we as W10 Mobile users actually have, to be honest. Google is also pushing 'progressive web apps' (very similar to hosted web apps, but you add that to your home page through the browser). Most importantly, Microsoft is not the only one starting to push web apps like this. Or airlines could tie into your schedule (even as web apps), and maybe even the Wallet app (if that was to ever not be useless garbage). But if the web app is done properly, it could have camera access (for depositing checks), and notification access. Banking, for example, is a big hole on W10M. If done well, it can be just as good as a native app.Īnd there are so many categories where you don't need much more than what a website does anyway.

but all of the coding is done on the website end (including adding notifications, camera access, etc). You submit your URL, and it gives you a store page (which in theory should give more discoverability, though that's probably not a problem for someone like LinkedIn). One of Windows 10's great features is the ability to put hosted web apps in the Store. Seriously, I don't understand the hatred for web wrappers, especially when they look to be well-done like this one is (for PC - it's ridiculous they don't have a phone option here).
