      It doesn’t NEED to, but some of us would prefer to have the option without the ones who prefer the other way having to be deprived of that 🤷

        Why would you need a native app? Like, what do think would be achievable in a native app that can not be done in a web app, and that you need/want?

          I already have a problem with having too many browser tabs open plus it’s easier to switch between my browser app and another app than between tabs if I want to look something up or something while reading and replying to stuff on Lemmy.

            You didn’t install the PWA? It works great and I can switch between voyager/browser easily

                Progressive web app. You can install the website as an app on your phone. It creates an icon on your home screen for it and when opening it it’s like a separate app, that isn’t your browser.

          I detailed why in my reply to SuperFola. Turns out there’s a PWA though, which’ll do just fine for my purposes lol

        Its written as a website really, the only way that would work is to make a wrapper for it, and it wouldn’t really change anything. It would just be an app that opened a web page.

        I guess it would help discoverability since you could put it on the App Store
