Today I’m thinking: what do normal people who live alone do in their houses? Cuz this is a reality I get closer to facing everyday and idk how to feel or adapt. Plus I have to learn to cook for just myself? How the fuck do I not cook for 5 people?

So I mentioned the other day that the Calckey PWA is bad. I really do mean this. But hold on. I have to preface what I'm about to say with this.

Disclaimer
I do not like PWAs or Electron apps. Neither feels particularly performative, nor do they feel actually native.

So let me get started on my gripes with the Calckey PWA.

- The PWA is overly sensitive to touch events.
- Example: When I swipe to continue scrolling the timeline the PWA will jump between the current timeline and the on directly to it's right or left, depending on what hand I'm swiping with. This doesn't happen on other apps like Reddit (garbage app) where they have multiple feeds as well.

- The PWA lacks a very important feature, refresh. There is no way to refresh the timeline by pulling down or pressing a button or double tapping a button like the home button. No you have to switch timelines to get the PWA to refresh them.

- The PWA has a large delay, it takes it a very long time to switch timelines, or go to different pages, or load profiles. This was tested on the Calckey PWA on 3 different servers, Calckey.Social, Kitty.Social, and a private instance. Speed test on my internet at the times I tested this average out to about 300 mbit/s.

- The Calckey PWA also fails a good bit on me and dumps me to something they call the "light client" which is just a feed with text and a text box to post.

There it is. My issues with the PWA mostly reside around how responsive, or unresponsive, the PWA is compared to an app. It's not something I struggle with because I don't use Calckey on mobile anymore except when I test it once a week. If I used it more there would probably be more issues of note but for now.
