I was starting to love pwa... But this is going to kill the momentum it was starting to have 😢

That shit brand created a cult for dimwits thinking they are better and smarter than everybody else by becoming platform slaves, and thus be exploited, as their only benefit of their deficiencies and dependency is consumism.

How will this affect the Lemmy client Voyager? Is it considered a web app? My understanding was that it was.

[–] rikudou@lemmings.world 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

As far as I know, it is a web app, meaning it could no longer be installed and will only work as a bookmark that opens your default browser.

No? It’s in the App Store! https://apps.apple.com/gb/app/voyager-for-lemmy/id6451429762 This PWA charge will only affect websites that you pin to your Home Screen.

A lot of kerfuffle over not much. If you’re going to release a web app instead of a proper app, then I’m quite happy to have a bookmark to the web page instead of a bullshit fake app wrapping the same bookmark. Don’t clutter my phone with that garbage.

Well, I'm definitely not paying Apple $99 a year to be on their shit store, so I've opted for PWA. It's made as an app from the scratch, not really much different from a native app.
