This is one area where PWAs still beat the pants off of native apps: the download size. Pinafore is 0.5MB for the whole app. Really! You go to https://pinafore.social, and it downloads the whole damn thing in the background.

For comparison:

Android:
- Tusky: 7.4M
- Yuito: 17.5M
- Subway Tooter: 18M
- Fedilab: 27M

iOS:
- Amaroq: 17.8M
- Mast: 19.3M
- Toot! 21.2M
- Tootle: 23.8M
- Mercury: 46.7M

(Found on https://play.google.com/store/apps/ and the App Store on an iPhone.)

Having a hard time finding intermediate tutorials for rust. Most of them are super beginner (which is great!) but then they jump into advanced, or at least into the form of people already familiar with C/C++. Coming from web development and being used to a crazy amount of tutorials this feels harder. Protips and advise welcomed!

Cigarette butts are the most littered item in the world and juat about the most poisonous thing you could be throwing around, doesn't decompose and is a fire hazard to boot. Just don't, please.
