Just checked Memmy's new app and now I want WefWef to have one : wefwef

What’s on Memmy that’s missing on wefwef? I tried Memmy and it’s certainly quite slick but then i came back to wefwef cause I like the search function better. I don’t find wefwef lacking in features. I think it’s just as refined as Memmy ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Why can’t wefwef be wefwef?

I know what you mean, it certainly doesn't feel as smooth as stock Android apps, but I still feel it is smooth enough as a PWA, I don't know what exactly are the limitations on Android for this.

I'd brief my opinion to:

I'd take both options, PWA and standalone app for iOS and Android, this is a too great PWA to just let it die.

I completely agree, although not perfect, for me this app is the first time a PWA has felt close to a native app.

Like you say, without attention and development in this area, it will be ignored (or at least de-prioritised) and languish. If some of the rough edges can be smoothed by Apple, then an growing number of users and increased attention is more likely to influence them to prioritise improvements.

Apps like these are the best thing that could happen for the platform.

Optimistically, it could be a win-win: Apple are really against third-party app stores, so web apps have been their go-to example showing the "openness" of their platform. If we get a thriving web app ecosystem on iOS, then it should benefit both the users and Apple.
