I’ve added it to my Home Screen and to be honest I can barely tell it’s not a native app. It’s shockingly well put together so far.
the native site added as an app isn't half bad either, it works in a very similar way but it just has some UI niggles
Maybe I’m being stupid, but isn’t that what I’m doing when I use the „Add to Home Screen“ function in Safari?
yep! It works well because the website has been designed to that way
That's honestly what I've been using the most. I use a chrome app for my admin account and a Firefox app for this one.
Until I realized that there’s no haptic feedback.
It’s still the greatest alternative out there because it’s very similar to Apollo and not just “inspired by”. I don’t even know if haptic feedback is possible on PWA but I guess time will tell.
Same, works really well. The people who developed it have done an amazing job.
Yep, probably the second best pwa I’ve used
What's the best one?
I’ve been using Memmy for iOS. It’s amazing with constant updates. Need to get it installed via TestFlight, but the developer has submitted it to the App Store as well so hopefully it will be broadly available.
Edit: missed the part about pwa, but this is a native mobile app.
Just curious: what's the best you've been used?
Same, that’s what I’ve been doing and it really just feels like using Apollo again.
Edit: once I’m able to save posts to my profile, long press to download, and organize groups of communities it will be indistinguishable (for me anyway, a mostly-lurker)
