Opening Remarks
summary
Opening remarks state that Polymer 2 and partner demos like Shop in Polymer aim to make web apps feel native while keeping payloads tiny, citing a Walmart case where after mobile launches 80% of revenue still comes from the website. The manifesto pushes progressive web apps, warns of a hard three second boot target, criticizes brittle isomorphic JavaScript server/client hacks, and previews tooling and runtime work (mentions Alex Ross, Paul Lewis, and SafetySurma) meant to shrink frameworks, slice UI payloads, and lazy-load the rest.
