I just want to praise wefwef. On iOS it is a great app alternative which you can add to the homepage.

The user experience is very similar to Apollo . Honestly I was a bit afraid if I can switch but now I’m relaxed. This is a great alternative!

I tried every app I could find on TestFlight:

Thunder
Liftoff
Memmy
Mlem

For the moment WefWef is better than all of them.

I keep those apps installed to keep track of their advancement, because I usually prefer using native apps, but they are not ready yet and WefWef is just so great and works so well it’s hard to believe it’s a webapp

I have constantly praised how good PWAs are and get constant pushback because "web apps suck", when the reality is just that most web apps that people have used have sucked, but they don't inherently if they're well written.

PWAs are truly a beautiful app distribution model. They just use standard web browser APIs so they should work on every platform with a web browser, which means they also works with your favourite browser extensions, screen readers, and accessibility devices; they're securely sandboxed away from the OS through those APIs; they updates themselves seamlessly to the latest version with just a page refresh; and distribution literally just requires you to self host a web site for free on something like GitHub Pages, no app stores or signing certificates or anything.
