My only currently gripe with wefwef being a pwa is on iOS their is no deep link support.

I have a push notification setup which uses a MacMini apple mail app with apple script, shortcuts, and ntfy to create push notifications.

On Android pwa's deep link aka it I can make ntfy directly open wefwef unread inbox upon clicking.

On iOS however pwa's can't deep link nor can be opened by shortcuts. The closest work around I have is calling a shortcut to open wefwef to open WebView (which unfortunately means manually updating two instances of wefwef on iOS).

Using say a pwa wrapper to make a hybrid iOS web app could fix this.

Although on the other hand if wefwef obtains push notifications then deeplinking may become a moot point

Nice 👍

Although soon you probably will be able to use static hosting like GitHub pages since Lemmy 0.18.1 fixes cors.

Thanks. Quick question are nifty topics publically discoverable (ie there is a place in the nifty server to view anyones topic)?

I ended up choosing a long topic (I legit just mashed random letters in my keyboard) to make it undescoverable.

Example (ihfepaoheiwpahfiauwh)

Could some one easily discover that and snoop into the topic?

I don't really self host a lemmy instance so I ended up taking a different route (admitidly janky but reliable).

I have a mac mini running 24/7, I enabled lemmy to send notification emails. On my mac I have the mail app set to automatic refresh and have a set of rules which search for lemmy instance as sender and subject contains reply. When mail detects it I have an apple script run a mac shortcut which checks my inbox latest inbox rss extracts the text and sends a ntfy push. Admitedly there are better ways to do this probably (than relying on shortcuts and apple script) but it works 🫠

Also I have the link set to open wefwef on android (open in opens webapp) on ios I have it run deeplink to a shortcut which opens wefwef in webview

Android assuming the pwa is installed from chrome uninstalling the pwa should auto fox.

If not opening wefwef from chrome and clearing website data will fix

Although I haven't personally experienced any issues iOS and Android

I recently tried signing up for TILvids perr tube. It said however admin approval is required for uploading.

Is this common?

This is gonna be weird to say but compact mode for wefwef is. Bit to compact

Both should be possible while keeping pwa

Tried and true advice 😉

Same

wefwef should feel more snappy in general as it can talk directly to lemmy instead of relaying requests.

So lemmy v0.18 broke CORS. You can expect poor performance on wefwef.app connecting to lemmy.world until the following PR is merged in: LemmyNet/lemmy#3421

This hotifx allows you to connect to lemmy.world once again, even if the experience is poor (because we have to proxy all traffic because... cors)

Probably not. Though out of curiosity is there a specific reason you want it in the playstore (aside from auto updates)?

Google chrome on android allows pwa's to access a LOT of features
