I apologize if this has already been covered, but I’ve seen a lot of people talking about a need for a kbin app. While I agree that a native app would be nice to have eventually, I figured that quite a few people probably aren’t aware of how web apps work. I don’t use Android, so I have no idea if there is an equivalent...
Apple has given up and announced that in the European Union version of iOS 17.4 'web apps' will be able to be installed on the homescreen and work offline. As the developer of the web apps FindMeSAR and GeoJPG, this is great news. #WebApp#PWA#ProgressiveWebApp#webDev
Apple has already decided to disable Progressive Web Apps (PWAs) in the EU, but PWA developers in the EU should have an option to run and test their PWA apps on an real iPhone for users outside the EU.
A developer mode or Safari feature flag to enable PWAs would suffice.
Finally, I think that the best way to use #Mastodon with all the features for free on your phone is to uninstall the application, and use the site as a #webapp (just a shortcut to the home page, and the hidden browser interface).
"So the only path for creating a web app is to still run a service. Which means figuring out monetization, authentication, sensitive user data storage, abuse prevention, maintenance, uptime…. Gah."
This is why I'm creating #Dropserver. There are many very talented devs with good ideas out there, but if it's a #webapp type of thing, they can't share their creation unless they make a service out of it. But that's a whole 'nother thing many won't touch.
So... I left Evernote months ago when they hiked their pro plan subscription (like 163% !) It was bloated, and their free plan was crippled; that + the company had been struggling for years to find a CEO who could bring some kind of vision back to the app. It all flopped and they were sold to Bending Spoons.
Over the ensuing months, I was fortunate to find a replacement! An Open Source, fully encrypted, Evernote killer. And what a note taking app it has become.
A major release (v3.0) was launched officially today. 8 months of non-stop development and testing by a two-man Dev team has really brought this app center stage. These guys are hands-on with listening to user feedback on their NN Discord server; when they find time to sleep beats me (the plight of the developer).
Read about this latest journey AND all of the great new features of v3.0 that are note-taking game changers, on their blog post:
You're going to hear more about Notesnook in the weeks and months to come and it won't be coming from me. It will be from a growing userbase that can't help but share the awesomeness that Notesnook brings to notetaking.
🌐 Ever wished you could share your localhost web app with the world? With #VisualStudio Dev Tunnels, now you can! Check out my latest video to see how:
the pixelfed mobile app (v1.0.0.33) will show "not supported" error message when making a new post. we are on the latest release [70e8203] and the app should not have targeted unreleased dev version
using web app will not have this problem. if you must use mobile app then we recommend version 1.0.0.29
Does anyone know of a #Mastodon web app that allows for both a) creating hashtag groups and b) following Instances other than my own? Basically, adding some of the killer features of @IceCubesApp but in web app I can use on multiple Windows desktops.
I am using @elk and I really love it but just wanted to explore some more. Or perhaps Elk might be looking to add those in the future?
Over the last year or so I've expanded my Web Development to include Web App Development. Just completed a boutique App to provide a Digital Products Environment (DPE) for a client to be able to sell digital products alongside physical ones.
Since this is a B2B store with custom branded promotional products like brochures and cards, the client will sell it, customize it, upload the products and the customers will be sent the information to be able to view it online instead of buying the physical product. A 5 month endeavor with many challenges along the way, but I'm proud of my accomplishment!
I just want to copy & paste a few images together into a collage. Very low effort & quicky. There's decent android phone apps to automatically make a collage. But anything for a desktop / web browser?

GeoJPG v2 launch on target for March 19 - maybe sooner.
Make your own custom maps, host them for free on Google Drive, view them offline and see your geolocation.
No ads. No tracking. No signup. No cost.
I am developing this as a public service and part of my way to "pay it forward". Plus I am having a blast doing this since - to the best of my knowledge - this is a new approach to offline maps.
Been trying out the #webapp version of #pixelfed this morning. (iPad)
It’s nice. I may probably start using it over the browser..
Seems to handle the local feeds a lot better, at least it seems a lot less hesitation in populating the feed.
The only thing missing in my pov, is navigation buttons, at least a ‘back’ button would be sweet.
Eksperyment: Mangan to alternatywna aplikacja webowa dla #Mastodon-a dostępna na telefonach, tabletach i komputerach.
Przygotowana dla osób migrujących z portalu od Elona, by poczuli się w #fediverse jak u siebie w domu. Dlatego oferuje znane UI, serduszka, układ, specjalnie dla osób z akcji #ExiTT
Twoje pomysły, zgłoszenia błędów, opinie i wsparcie są tutaj mile widziane :)
this is a #furry flavored instance of #linkstack that acts as a linktree for your various furry linking needs. this instance isn't trans specific, but is absolutely trans-friendly. :3
