@FediTips@social.growyourown.services with respect. As a software developer who has done both native and web, you don’t hear about web apps because they are a pain to build, don’t really add a lot of value, and approaching zero people ever install them. It’s a pipe dream.

They add lots of value, for example the Mastodon and PeerTube apps have lots more features than their official apps.
So often when I'm helping people use Mastodon, I have to tell them to use the website or web app because the official app store app is missing a feature.
They also have fewer restrictions because they don't have to obey app store rules on responsibility for instance content.
