From what I remember, the consortium is maybe a dozen people? And these people also work for the browsers. The goal is to come together and find features that they all can work on or improve over a year, taking into account current roadmaps and workloads. Think of interop like the small extra tickets you can work on in between the main feature development at your day job.
Right now the focus has been very low level details about how browsers render content. These are the biggest areas for improvement as the JavaScript APIs are largely standardized and merged in from “upstream”.
I suspect we will continue to see more work done to patch holes between browsers, before we see a push to simultaneously implement new features across all engines at once.
That said, with Apple finally adding webpush to mobile Safari, we’re getting a lot closer to covering the needs of the vast majority of web apps that would benefit from PWA features. What sort of features are you wanting to take advantage of that are not present cross browser yet?
