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.

The release of the newly announced Googlebook cannot come fast enough for me. I am in the market for a new laptop and have my sights set on a Googlebook with the hope Google is making one. So far there are about five laptop manufacturers that are slated to be producing and releasing one this calendar year. Although, details are sparse surrounding the Googlebook I've seen just enough to know that I want this device to be a part of my tech ecosystem.  My current tech ecosystem Admittedly, I've been holding out for a minute to get a new laptop. Fortunately, my current device is still meeting my needs but barely. Right now, I am rocking a Pixelbook Go from 2019 and using a Pixel 10 Pro with a Pixel Tablet. I'm fine with this setup but my needs for more capable and powerful computing is getting harder to ignore. My Pixelbook Go does not seem as connected to my other devices as I would like which would explain why I don't use it as much. ChromeOS has not progressed much over ...
