I don't mean to take a crap on this creation, but it really paints PWAs in a poor light by itself being a bad one:

- Animations are janky because they use CSS properties which trigger more than just the compositor

- Carousel cannot be navigated by scrolling left/right on desktop, or by clicking the small circles below

- Almost all UI text is selectable

- Common keyboard shortcuts (esc to close modals, for example) don't do what I'd hope

- Search page results are one tile wide regardless of available screen space

- Uses a bottom navigation bar on desktop (ok, I'm guilty of this one too)

- UI changes from the bottom navbar wait on the network (usually a characteristic of normal websites, not native apps or PWAs)

We have a ways to go before PWAs can become mainstream.
