Google has announced a new Advanced Web Apps Fund, which is set to include in its scope anything that “improves the web as a platform for advanced apps”.
Google admitted that it doesn’t have a precise definition for what “advanced apps” are, but said it generally considered them to be websites that have an app-like interface and significant client-side functionality.
The tech giant cited libraries and tools that make it easier to build advanced web apps, such as improvements to Bubblewrap and drivers supporting WebUSB, as well demo apps and tutorials showcasing “unique or powerful” use cases for advanced web apps as examples of what they want to invest in.
