Hi guys, I’m changing my phone to one with less resources. Part a detox era, kind off. My question is, how convenient is to keep using fedilab and husky as main apps in a less powerful phone. Is that right? Is more convenient to go directly at main pages?

    There is also the possiblity of PWA apps (installed from the browser menu, providing the app in the app drawer, and as a share target, with notifications, and all you expect from an app - without the typical baggage of an app, because it’s just a mini wrapper that runs the webpage via the API of your regular browser that is installed anyway).

    To my knowledge, only (streams) offers that, and only the Chrome browser supports it (Firefox is said to be working on it, but I cannot get it to install via Firefox). However, it can be run in other browsers, and Hubzilla offers this option, too - But this is more a kind of PWA lite, you only get a bookmark on the screen (not in the drawer), that calls a dedicated browser window - There is no share target, no notifications, etc.
