There's not a lot of work that's gone into using it on a tablet. It would be nice if posts got split into columns, like you can do with the feed.
Did they actually re-code the whole thing to make it native? You can ship a web app via the app store just fine. Only making changes to take advantage of the better system access that provides.
Pretty sure its still a web app under the hood.
A web app doesn't magically turn into a native app when you put it on the app store. The way it gets installed, and the system access is different, and better for stuff like notifications...
But the word "native" refers to applications made using the native SDK, which in Apple's case is Swift. I'd be extremely impressed if the devs re-wrote the entire app in new code. But that would be unnecessary.
You can have non-native apps on the app store. A lot of your apps probably aren't native. SDKs like flutter, used by liftoff and thunder, make development much easier in exchange for the resulting application running a bit less efficiently. Flutter applications can also run on both Android and iOS, and even desktop, with little additional work.
Thunder has also been available for a while.
It is overall a bit behind in development compared to others, but IMO it's the best looking. Next update is bringing another big set of improvements.
NP. Looking forward to you posting more, if you feel like it.
But if you do, consider using an alt that's not on an instance that has a focus on porn. Posts from such instances are not visible to those of us with main accounts on instances that do not allow outright pornography. And as the moe communities are intended to lean heavily towards sfw, a lot of users would be missing out on your posts, even when they aren't explicit.
Nice.
U typoed the name tho. Should be Chloe.
