F**k them. I'm not making any effort for iOS apps anymore. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] rikudou@lemmings.world [S] 5 points 2 years ago (1 child) Yep, fuck them. For me it was not the deciding factor in making my app a PWA, but it definitely was one of the reasons I went for it. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] debeluhar@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago* I already had android app written in kotlin, so I didn't need PWA. I guess it's cool that I can use this PWA on computer, even if nobody would use my app on computer. When somebody asks me, why my app is not on App Store, I just ask them, would they pay 99$ per year for an app, and they say never. Well, there is your answer. permalink fedilink source parent [+] quackers@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 2 years ago [removed by mod] permalink fedilink source parent
