EDITING AN EXISTING TOPIC PAGE*
I'm suggesting these edits to an existing topic:

, square, dimensions 288x288)index.md
)Please explain why these changes are necessary:
As someone who has been involved with the creation of progressive web apps since day one (I wrote the O'Reilly book Building Progressive Web Apps), I think the current topic needs two changes:
Remove the
created_by
field which only listed two people as the creators of progressive web apps. While Francis and Alex were immensely influential for the creation of progressive web apps and service workers in particular, and while I personally adore and have been floored by the depth of Alex's intelligence and vision in every single interaction I ever had with him (I never had a chance to meet Francis), I think it isn't fair to attribute to two people what is an industry-wide effort by dozens of people who have worked day and night to make this happen.I would also suggest replacing the link to Google's web site (which seems to suggest it is the "official website" of progressive web apps) with a link maintained by many different browser vendors (such as MDN). Again, while I absolutely admire Google's efforts to help further the open Web, and believe they have been one of (if not the most) critical elements in making progressive web apps a success, this was an industry wide effort with a lot of resources put in by many companies. If anything, the appearance of progressive web apps being a Google thing has been detrimental to their adoption.
