but those websites don't have apps either. The future is apps not websites.

You're right but that doesn't mean the things don't exist at all.

Cornychats a riot, i find myself there when the farms moving me

Apps require dev accounts with Apple and soon Google that violate privacy principles. Use browser based apps that can leverage your nostr identity via extension and don't require separate installs.

Its about the app being too slow to use on browser mode. If it's too slow then people won't use it no matter how nice your app looks and most browser websites are just too slow compared to apps. Yes, Google is adding restrictions but the majority of people don't care about that, only a tiny amount of people care about that, so you will end up with a dead app because lack of users. There is some PWAs, which sometimes you can get the user to install it, but it still not as fast a native. If you have a dev you could make it so the users won't notice the speed difference but apps still win.

Performance has little to do with browser vs native app.

Android has already rolled back this decision. It will remain technically open just with an annoying caveat for boomer protection. Not perfect, but better than nothing.

The future is apps... not websites? What's a PWA???

If i had a million sats i would send it all to this note... Sleepy: wtf you on bro. Im on meth but you sound more cooked than me! Just because cornychat and hivetalk get the job done... you got an issue with these projects then fucking contribute? Why would you want to vive code your own, even though it would be difficult? You're rocking the boat by flinging shit... why?
