These Google apps I hope get PWA support soon


With Chrome apps set to cease to exist in the near future on Chrome OS. Here are the Google apps I wish to get PWA support.


Google Keep - My go-to notes app and offline support would be great. The Android app does the job but this is one app students such as myself can benefit from having an app built with Chrome OS on top of mind. This is one app I can see being improved with updates to the Android app.


Google Calendar - Offline support was recently announced so I assume PWA support may be around the corner.


Youtube Music - I'm not sure how likely it is for this app to have PWA support but it would be great. One issue off the back I can see is with offline support especially for those who wish to have music saved locally. My guess the Android app will receive better support on Chrome OS and a major makeover to match the web version. 


To a lesser degree


Gmail - Don't get me wrong PWA support would be dope but I’d be more interested in multi-account support similar to the Android app. I have a couple of Gmail accounts and one exchange account for school and having all of my emails accessible in one place on the web would be awesome.


Maps - I can dream, right?


Photos - The Android recently received a pretty big update and now it resembles the web version. This is literally what I would like for every Google Android app.


Google apps that already have PWA support


Google Drive


Stadia


Youtube


I use Chromebooks exclusively as my computing device and love it. With PWAs becoming more prominent and Jetpack Compose for Desktop picking up steam I feel that better quality and looking apps are on the way for us Chrome OS users.
