Maybe I’m projecting but I wonder if anyone outside the dev / nostr community knows what PWAs are. I had no idea before nostr.

I knew it before nostr but I rarely used it.
Usage of PWAs has gone up like a 1000% for me since then 😅
And to be fair, I don't know any non-dev person who uses PWA

One of the services we use for work relies on PWA as the only way to get it on your phone, has been like that for ~8+ years.
Makes me think of other under-utilized things... My personal website was WAP enabled back in the early days of mobile internet. 😆
Is it a good UX if the user needs to know what a PWA is?
Rhetorical question?

Same
There've been a few big pushes historically, particularly in response to episodes of Apple App Store stupidity, but never really held.
Literally no one
People understand you can use a website on a phone... I hope
What are websites? 😜
Just websites that feel like native apps. I like 'em. Less intrusive than a native app, no installation friction and circumvents app store gatekeepers.
I like PWAs
I used to make them
