By “game-changer”, I meant in the sense of having the most functional lemmy client with the best UI in the App Store so soon after what happened to Apollo. PWAs are cool (good for small startups, less cost, faster update deployment, cross-platform thru web-browser engine), but they can’t or don’t leverage the strengths of the hardware/platform they run on to achieve that without a wrapper or native code. Spotify is a PWA, for example. I just logged into mobile Spotify and most of the core functionality is there, but the experience is better using the native app from the App Store. (I can’t even view my Library with mobile Spotify) Scrolling is buttery smooth, animations for transitions instead of sudden “pop-ins” and “pop-outs” or loading a page (like a web browser). Same with Twitter, or a majority of sites/services with an already established app. There’s a reason they all push you to use the native app instead of the web-browser version. It’s just better, and wefwef can only benefit from it. As a PWA, it’s a good solution until it’s mature enough to be native.

I just drag the homebar up a little and it’s back to normal
If that’s the case, apps may as well not exist. But apps still get made, because the world doesn’t work that way.
If this becomes a native iOS app, it would be a game-changer!

Migrated from Apollo, wepwep is my home while testing the other iOS apps. Feels good over here!
Using Memmy for the first time on this post (too late to get in the beta) and it’s a great experience so far! I love that the markdown options are built-in like Apollo had, the UI is elegant and easy to use, and smooth!
