Wefwef for Lemmy feels exactly like Apollo. (wefwef.app)

I’m not sure if you’ve tried this PWA called Wefwef but it feels like a fully featured Apollo client for Lemmy already. You just go to the site and add it to your home screen. No beta to sign up for. No TestFlight link. Just add the PWA.

It’s good. It’s really really good.

New favorite way to use lemmy.

Great design, feels responsive, works everywhere…

PWAs are great, and for 99% of use cases are more than enough. We need a fake App Store that “installs” PWAs in people devices in a transparent way.

Also let’s hope Apple is forced to open iOS to alternative rendering engines and complete full features browsers.

And for a final irony boost, the PWA thing is the “”””original”””” vision for smartphones, at least according to Steve Jobs during the original iPhone keynote. Full circle and stuff.
