Yeah another vote for Memmy. Allthough I’m starting to fear for the devs health since he’s been pushing updates 24/7 for the last week. He’s definitely in the zone.
Actually I highly prefer WefWef because it runs at Native like speed, it’s very well built.
I especially like that it’s a PWA and not a native app, because native apps have too many permissions on your phone and they can have so much access to your data in comparison.
It’s not uncommon in this world for someone to make a nice app, another company to buy it and you don’t even realize while your data is being sold. This could definitely happen to a PWA too but the attack surface decreases.
PWAs are cheaper (in this case free) to maintain too. Apple charges you $100/year to be a developer . Google is more generous $25/lifetime for android. These operating systems change often and keep deprecating stuff, forcing devs to continuously fix unnecessarily broken stuff. This doesn’t happen with PWAs as they follow the web standard.
Well put. From what I can tell the main thing it needs is push notifications. I’ve already added a shortcut on my home screen so it’s as good as a native app to me.
The Memmy beta is full already. They are waiting for AppStore approval and then you can download it.
I’m using Mlem at the moment. It’s got a great UI that also has an Apollo feel to it.
