Yo-yager sounds cool af
Interesting. I didn't know it was possible to have a PWA in the app store. How does that work?
you wrap the web app in a shell of a native app with a web browser. it can pass through local hardware like microphone camera usb bluetooth etc. phonegap was a popular tool for this what 10+ years ago.
I guess these days it’s mostly Ionic or Quasar…?
I believe the dev said they used ionic in this instance
Oh right! I totally forgot about that.
That's the most iOS looking app I've ever seen on Android. Not a fan. Sorry
I guess you haven't see the "Android mode" option...
Not that it looks too great right now, though I appreciate they are working on it.
Has anything android ever looked good?
Comparing the Konstaui.com kitchen sinks for ios and android, android looks way better. ios looks like a kids toy
Plenty of things. But it's not hard to look better than iOS. You just have to not look like Fisher Price had a baby with Mattel and you are automatically better than an iOS app.
it still retains iOS iconography, including the share button.
I did not. I didn't have an iPhone to be able to get onto the settings with.
It feels dirty but it does look nice
The back button works much better!
Back button works fine on the PWA...
VGER?
Oh oh... I shouldn't have eaten those whales...
I'm currently testing it, as I'm looking for an Android application for Lemmy, and it looks promising! Thanks
anything to do with the mobile ui ?
is it foss ?
Just tried it and it is fast. The auto collapse comment thread is winning me over
I was using the PWA. I'll try and switch to the app and see how I like it.
Yay
Any idea on how to find it in the aurora App Store?
Go to Aurora app settings and into "Open by Default" . Turn them all on. Any links to the Play Store should then open in Aurora Store instead.
That worked thank you!
Any way to use a compact cards view in the full app? The PWA has this option but I don't see it in the dedicated app.
I couldn't find it on my phone's playstore, so had to install it via that web link, but everything looks good so far.
Not bad. The color options are a bit intense, but a good start, keep it up!
