@armin Why are you using an app on MacOS when you can just use the website as a PWA?

@WestFox35 I don't like the framing here. Why does an app exist if there is a website? But to answer your question: because I simply don't want to use a browser for it when there is a somewhat native app, and because I wanted to try if it's good. There's no reason to force everyone into having to use a web browser for this.

@armin PWA is an app. It stands for Progressive Web App.

I guess I'd need to try the mastodon macos app to make any kind of judgement though, since I've never used it.

I prefer Mona for a desktop app experience.

@WestFox35 I understand that it's technically just a browser in a window, too, what's your argument here?

@WestFox35 Addendum: it also simply isn't a PWA, it's a native app in binary form with full Apple Silicon support, just to be very precise here. ;-)
