without pwa this thing is useless on mobile. plus it does not fit to the screensize of phone due to lack of mobile version

We do have plans to make WebVM a PWA (or IWA) in the medium term, but that should not be necessary.

WebVM is already designed to be responsive and adapt to mobile screens. Can you clarify what the problem is?

Do you mean you'd like to be able to launch it from your home screen?

PWA (Progressive Web App) is simply a wrapper around website which grants few additional features, such as offline mode (depends on developer as not all PWAs support offline mode), standalone app (but don't misunderstand. It's not real app but simply a wrapper to launch it. Think of shortcuts but with custom splash screen and few more features) and some special permissions (forgot which ones).

Anyways, in conclusion you will still be using browser since PWAs are not standalone and PWA also doesn't affect how app is visible (unless developer made it so that website changes it's layout in PWA mode but I haven't encountered any case like that).
