I just pulled a PWA app off the app store and I am going to keep it a pure PWA. It's installable, offline-first. I know I feel like I'm swimming against the current but I would love people to try to push for awareness of PWA installs more.

I'd love to see people distribute their apks directly.

Itch.io is an option for people who don't want to set up a site or handle payments. While they focus on games, they're cool with distributing non-games:

I personally have a TrustedWebActivity. Most update doesn't need a review because I only need to update server-side. Behave like a PWA while being an Android App. (And you can implement Android Auto, other native stuff)

It allows the users to discover my web app through the Google Play Store. My app was also available as a PWA but I mostly push the TWA currently.
