Voyager is great but it should be noted that this is just a glorified web app.

It runs really well for a web app, you can barely even tell.

[–] [email protected] 18 points 1 year ago (1 children)

But the web app spams my browser history with everything I ever touched on Lemmy. I absolutely don't want that. It is nice to have the app separate from my chrome history.

yes but I think you can't download images and videos of the app

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

The new update can!

[–] [email protected] 16 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Why should I note that? Will it eat me in my sleep if I didn't know that?

[–] [email protected] 18 points 1 year ago (1 children)

It won't be as optimized as a native app, basically.

[–] [email protected] 14 points 1 year ago

I agree, but trust me: Voyager is the best webapp I've ever tried. It truly feels like a native app.

So what? For a hybrid app like that to be smooth and performant, he has my kudos. If I hadn't already seen this running in a browser, I don't think I would have realized it was. I personally like the Sync experience, but it's really cool to have lots of different choices that use different tech.
