Editing to let people know that I will be blocking anyone who feels the need to tell me why this graph is inaccurate. I truly don't care, but feel free to chime in with your useless take and land a spot on my block list! 🙂

Let’s hope the mobile apps become real mobile apps instead of web page wrappers.

I can understand if you build a site that allows itself to be pinned to your device as if it were an app. That’s a great way to get a product onto devices before you have time+effort to build a native app.

It’s quite another thing to have an actual app with a highly visible GUI wrapper whose only purpose is to connect to and display a specific website.

Like, c’mon.

Why should it be an app? I would prefer a website, it works on everything then as everything has a web browser. We don't need to harvest user data here so what would the app provide? Plus it restricts users that are not on apple/android

I honestly prefer other sites/apps anyway. Tusky is a great app for connecting all your fediverse accounts in one place, and friendica has a filter by image option that essentially turns it into Pixelfed.
