Echo JS 0.11.0

I see that the title is to catch the readers rather than actually to state the end of native apps, if you admit that they "still have a few capabilities that mobile apps will not have for a potentially long time".

It's not that device manufacturers have never tried the "all-web-tech" road in the past - it's an effort as old as WebOS - but there are apps which are *explicitely* thought for devices, and aren't suit to live on the web in any form. Like a file explorer, for example.

Honestly I have no idea native apps are doomed, or even will be relegated in a small niche. In my opinion, it's way too soon to tell. We still don't know if PWAs will ever catch on, among developers *and* users. Safari doesn't even support service workers at the moment.

One thing, for sure, is that we should try to develop PWAs because they *do* look cool!

I've tried fullscreen web apps before and it didn't work for me. A simple use case to illustrate where it failed in terms of UX:

- User clicks the "Forgot password" button and gets a password reset link to his mailbox. Clicks the link and hey, the reset password page is now opened in a new tab in Safari. Fullscreen experience ruined.

This also applies to things like logging in with your Facebook/Google/etc account, purchasing things (think Stripe).

Note: I'm talking iPhone here, unsure about Android devices
