Just makes it easier for people who are accustomed to searching for useful things mainly on appstores. Many have no idea you can have full functionality in the form of PWAs.
I just love that the dev is able to pump out updates pretty much daily. Getting anything reviewed on both the App Store and Play Store takes ages
yeah, wefwef is my first experience of pwas on ios and the update process is very easy.
iOS App Store is under 24 hours most of the time.
As someone who hasn’t really used many PWAs in the past, I am realizing that like 90% of the apps on my phone could probably just be a PWA. Hell, most of them just seem to be wrapping a browser in an iOS app anyway.
I have known about PWAs for a while, and it always has annoyed me just how many apps I have that could be PWAs instead. I think apps can be tracked to a greater degree than websites, so, at least for closed-source stuff made by companies, native apps give more data they can use and sell.
They'll find some other app in the playstore then. Wefwef is awesome as it is.
yeah i have the same view. mlem comes to mind right away. lemmy is having a boom in app development.
my only wish is for wefwef to have haptic feedback support like Apollo used to have but the dev said there are some limitations because its a pwa.
Makes sense. It’s actually my first time using a PWA as well
