@rperezrosario mobile PWA
JustEnoughDucks@thermia @rperezrosario they have a PWA? I might have to start using that. I'd rather have PWAs than a million electron apps all running separate browser instances
@justenoughducks @rperezrosario not sure about upstream mastodon, but the glitch-soc fork of mastodon does, and sharkey, the main instance software it uses does as well ^^

Just for all the folks who might be interested, a PWA is a Progressive Web App.
I had never heard about it. So there.
Disclaimer: there may well be better explanations. Please feel free to add.
@RolfBly @rperezrosario @justenoughducks ah yes! sorry
indeed PWA stands for "progressive web app", which basically allows one to "install" a web page and make it behave as any app installed on a device, icon on the home screen and all
as the article mentions, it also allows the site to interface with certain APIs exposed by the OS
all of this provides a more "native like" experience ^^

@thermia Thank you! 🙏 Karma points. Lots!
Miha Markič@justenoughducks @thermia @rperezrosario Android app is electron? I've been using Tusky which is a native app.
@mihamarkic @thermia @rperezrosario sorry for the confusion, no it is a java app. I was just making commentary on how many apps are electron apps nowadays (their desktop app is electron though)
