The Endless Debugging
Introduction Before I began building Progressive Web Apps (PWAs) with the help of artificial intelligence , I believed I had a clear vision of what an ideal solution should look like. If I were fluent in programming, I could have implemented clean, bug-free solutions that precisely addressed user needs. In my view, a well-designed app should simplify workflows, rather than introduce friction or impose extra steps that do not align with real-world usage. However, in practice, developers may not fully understand the actual workflows, while users may not articulate their needs clearly or may passively accept whatever is given. In hindsight, I realised that my idealism about building a “perfect” app stemmed from a limited understanding of the technical foundations required to support such ambitions. What Users Take for Granted As users, we have grown accustomed to feature-rich, polished applications that just work. For example, a professional PDF editor is expected to support text highli...
