Install it as an app?

I am tempted by APP2, but I keep seeing stores about reliability. And that puts me off 🙁

Is there a benefit to using the Voyager hosted on the Lemmy server vs direct from vger.app? Any downsides

[–] revs@feddit.uk 1 points 2 years ago

Agreed! It’s made me realise how good webapps can be

That lets you access native device features from a webapp/website.

It doesn’t make a webapp a “native” app. It would still be exactly the same web based technologies - still a very fancy website. Not that there’s anything wrong with that. As wefwef is amazing

I feel like when I browse All I still just see the same 20 posts

Writing a native app, and not just a web wrapper, is a different skillset to writing a PWA. It’s not a quick conversion, it’s a whole new app from scratch and everything would be rewritten.

This is a superb PWA, and web apps will get better in each iOS release.

There are plenty of native apps to choose from if you want one.

Yes, usually after a couple of years. The battery health sometimes says the battery is ok, but I see a clear improvement from a new one.

I think this is a iOS bug rather than Wefwef. I think I saw someone link to a long-standing WebKit bug a while ago

I imagine this is exactly why appointments are needed. Otherwise thousands of people will go there to try them with no intention of buying.

After a while i’m sure you will be able to just walk in and try them, but maybe not for the first few months/year

I would guess it’s because this is supposed to be an open standard. Anyone should be allowed to use it.

Imagine if gmail users could only email other gmail users. If email servers didn’t all talk to each other. This is similar.

If Threads uses ActivityPub then it should be available.

But I completely get the Embrace, Extend, Extinguish fear.

Edit: I guess thread is more suited to mastodon, not Lemmy, but same argument

I quit the app. Disable camera access. Etc.
