I just want to praise wefwef. On iOS it is a great app alternative which you can add to the homepage.

The user experience is very similar to Apollo . Honestly I was a bit afraid if I can switch but now I’m relaxed. This is a great alternative!

    I have constantly praised how good PWAs are and get constant pushback because “web apps suck”, when the reality is just that most web apps suck, but they don’t inherently.

    A well written PWA is a beautiful app distribution model. It just uses standard web browser APIs so it should work on every platform with a web browser, which means it also works with your favourite browser extensions, screen readers, and accessibility devices; it’s securely sandbox from the OS through those APIs; it updates itself seamlessly to the latest version with a page refresh; and distribution literally just requires you to self host a web site for free on something like GitHub Pages, no app stores or signing certificates or anything.

      I didn’t really give them a chance until overseerr came out. Now that iOS finally allows web apps to send notifications I’m a fan.
