I couldn’t get in the Memmy’s TestFlight, but finally had a chance to try it when it made it to the App Store. I have to say, i still much prefer wefwef.

I have some problems with wefwef, mainly scrolling back to the top after closing and reopening the app. I usually have to just kill it or go back to the subscription page, and go back to the feed. It seems like a problem with PWA as I never had that problem with any native apps, but i could be wrong. I also wish there was hepatic feedback, but it’s not a big deal. Swiping back doesn’t work consistently either. I end up downvoting random comments by mistake more often that actually triggering a ‘back’ swipe. It seems that it’s a PWA issue too, but I’m not sure.

If these issues can only be solved with a native app vs PWA then i’d prefer a native app too. If they can be addressed in a PWA, i wouldn’t really care either way. it’s easier to selfhost a PWA

For me the biggest issue of wefwef is gonna be the freezing issue while scrolling, which everyone keeps saying is just a limitation of the web browser. If that’s not something that can ever be fixed I can’t see myself sticking with it no matter how great the UI is once other alternative apps are available and fully featured.

I wouldn’t say left behind, wefwef has the best UI/UX through it’s Apollo DNA. I believe it will catch up once the App Store version releases.

I‘d love to see it native, but not enough to switch yet. Wefwef does a great job on getting over Apollo for me. And regular updates are obviously a great advantage too.

Just wondering - is there a reason it needs to compete with other apps in popularity or?

My only currently gripe with wefwef being a pwa is on iOS their is no deep link support.

I have a push notification setup which uses a MacMini apple mail app with apple script, shortcuts, and ntfy to create push notifications.

On Android pwa's deep link aka it I can make ntfy directly open wefwef unread inbox upon clicking.

On iOS however pwa's can't deep link nor can be opened by shortcuts. The closest work around I have is calling a shortcut to open wefwef to open WebView (which unfortunately means manually updating two instances of wefwef on iOS).

Using say a pwa wrapper to make a hybrid iOS web app could fix this.

Although on the other hand if wefwef obtains push notifications then deeplinking may become a moot point

Gonna be real: I’m only using wefwef until I find an app.

Just curious, is there anything a web app cannot accomplish if not being a native app in the App Store?

Memmy doesn't have "beautiful iOS centric design" Apollo had and wefwef copied it 1:1. Memmy isn't as beautiful as Apollo/wefwef.
