    The thing is, there’s no benefit whatsoever.

    That’s not entirely true of course. A native app allows for certain interaction with the OS that is restricted when it’s a PWA.

    For example: I doubt the Voyager PWA can interact with Shortcuts on iOS/iPadOS/macOS at all in comparison to some native apps for which the developers integrated Shortcut support.

    That said, one of the reasons why I personally like Voyager is that it’s cross platform. No more ‘What platform are you using?’. One can simply refer to vger.app and be done. Would be even better if you can sign up under Voyager as well.

      There’s also a bunch of small interactions that simply don’t feel as nice (on iOS):

      • no taptic feedback
      • tap status bar to scroll to top doesn’t work
      • scrolling gets stuck occasionally
      • swipe back doesn’t always work reliably

      There’s probably more of these things, but those are some I keep stumbling across. Maybe some of these can be implemented/fixed, but probably not all.
