#2This is pretty great! Looking forward to more service worker support for more offline and push notifications.

#4What's the framework powering the site itself? I'd assume Bootstrap, but it has a Material Design look to it.

#5I think this should be called "What the web can do someday." I mean, push notifications? If it's not supported by mobile safari, it's a non-starter for actual widespread adoption.

It's on GitHub[0], looks like Bootstrap with a material design addon.

#7This is really awesome :)
The truth is that the 'web' is really becoming the cross-platform application architecture.
Just a few years back I despised the very idea of this -- I want to program in my favorite language, not JavaScript (no matter how nice it is these days). I'd love to write applications that can act like native ones while also being cross platform (and use multiple threads at that!).
The fact that WebAssembly[1] intends to eventually add support for multi-threaded programs and languages aside from JavaScript (including GC'd ones) is amazing. Personally I believe these are the two biggest blockers for most people who would want to write an app using web technology.
Although they explicitly mention that their goal is not to replace JS in their FAQ, that IMO is more akin to a _"nothing will ever replace C"_ statement rather than a _"no apps will be written using other languages than C"_.

The ticks/crosses on the front page are related to "your current browser" (see key). Click through for detailed stats from caniuse.com.

#9It's interesting to compare the site opened in Chrome vs. Safari. I count 12 features desktop Chrome supports that desktop Safari does not (on El Capitan). A mobile comparison would be intriguing as well.

#10I really wish there's a way to check what other popular browsers can do without having to install them and open up the website.
