Just saved this to my home screen, am I right in saying that it's just a webapp and not a full blown app? Seems to work fine so far!
It's a progressive web app, which means when installed it has some extra powers that other web apps don't (like more access to device APIs, offline support, etc.) It was actually what all iPhone apps were meant to be before Apple gave up and made the app store.
Sadly iOS's PWA support has fallen a bit by the wayside compared to PWAs in Android but it's picking up.
It’s what’s known as a “progressive web app.” A weird in-between of a native app and a web app
Seems to work well so far, not sure I like clicking on a comment collapses it, would like the upvote/downvote/reply options underneath the comment but it's early days and nothing that won't be ironed out over time
It's a copy of the Apollo iOS app interface. If you swipe the comment right depending on how far you swipe it it'll up or down vote.
