Here's an idea. What about creating an phone operating system that is fully based on PWAs?
As soon as you boot it, it shows homepage that feels like https://www.nostrnet.work/ or Umbrel, but it would also have the basics, like calendar, contacts, email, etc. There could be some space for interesting protocols (like deliver the apps in .zip files including signatures).
The benefits would be
- there's already rich ecosystem of web apps
- releases are not limited by App stores
- development is faster and easier (large community of React devs, etc)
- better UX (web devs have the most UX expertise)
Maybe there's a way to do this first as alternative "Android launcher", where the launcher would just run a browser in it anyway?
