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.

Native apps can utilize the feature of the host OS whereas using a library like react native that compiles down into different code depending on the target platform for that build, will be limited to what react native provides integration with.

There are sadly many things and as new feature come out those too can be underutilized.

I’m really generalizing here but if you look into it with that context, you’ll see what I mean.

I’ve experienced this personally and professionally as I am a senior software engineer and have done my share of app development
