      It doesn’t NEED to, but some of us would prefer to have the option without the ones who prefer the other way having to be deprived of that 🤷

        Why would you need a native app? Like, what do think would be achievable in a native app that can not be done in a web app, and that you need/want?

          I already have a problem with having too many browser tabs open plus it’s easier to switch between my browser app and another app than between tabs if I want to look something up or something while reading and replying to stuff on Lemmy.

            You didn’t install the PWA? It works great and I can switch between voyager/browser easily

              That sounds like exactly what I need! Thanks!

                Progressive web app. You can install the website as an app on your phone. It creates an icon on your home screen for it and when opening it it’s like a separate app, that isn’t your browser.

        I would love to hear why you would prefer it as an app.

          I detailed why in my reply to SuperFola. Turns out there’s a PWA though, which’ll do just fine for my purposes lol

        Its written as a website really, the only way that would work is to make a wrapper for it, and it wouldn’t really change anything. It would just be an app that opened a web page.

        I guess it would help discoverability since you could put it on the App Store
