This is Papa Pear: https://king.com/game/papapear

The HTML5 version is compiled from the same source that the App that goes to the Apple App Store (https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/papa-pear-saga/id572542612?m...).

What's so different? It is literally the same code base (minus some platform specific code).

I am talking about possibilities provided by iOS SDK and what is provided by web stack. It is amazing that React Native does not even have something UINavigationControll-ish. UIKit alone gives stuff which is lightyears ahead of the web. Even some more basic stuff: how easy it is to add accessibility to PWAs? Localization?

Most Frontend-Frameworks do have Localization-features so that's kind of easy to do. But other features like Bluetooth are nowhere to be seen (Blink Browser can do this - but it's far far away from a standard)

Web Bluetooth: https://webbluetoothcg.github.io/web-bluetooth/ (not yet standard, but supported by Chrome, for example).

A11y is also being taken seriously.
