E031 - Meet PWA! New font for vision impaired, Improvements to braille mode for Docs, Disable File Transfer in Chat, Dynamic Security Groups now live, Voice Enhancements, and more

Google adds another PWA to its arsenal, introducing Google Meet PWA! Course, as far as we can tell it's the same as the web version, just in a PWA. I really wanted to see them add the sidebar, but maybe that is still coming. We are going to look for someone at Google to be a guest on the show and explain the advantages of a PWA other than a nice icon on your Dock/Taskbar. Stay tuned!
