Voyager might become a native App in the future! (sort of) (lemm.ee)

It is a limitation of a PWA. A native app (wrapper) will likely be coming though, and a custom Capacitor plugin could theoretically interface with the native API to switch out icons. Theoretically. No promises though :)

Nothing is so perfect that it can’t be complained about. Also, voyager definitely has some (admittedly smaller) annoyances that stem from it being a web app.

Such as?

scroll-to-top doesn’t work
back swipe is unreliable (works 30% of the time)
after going back you have to wait a second before you can scroll
no app icons packs
no haptics
text select doesn’t work if you immediately go down since it scrolls the page instead

Don’t get me wrong, it’s still impressive. But I‘m very aware that it’s a web app and I have to step carefully. These might be small things, but they’re constantly annoying me.
