    Cool project! Is there any plans on releasing a mobile app in the future? I’m allergic to PWAs.

      Thanks, haha. I’d love develop a Native App for it too but this is a zero-budget Project (aside from the Domain). PlayStore has a one-time fee so that’s 25€ for Android + 8€/Month for the IOS AppStore just to have the App on there.

      In theory, I could just have a downloadable .apk for Android to circumvent the fee but most people don’t want to install a random .apk from the internet. And I’m not developing a Native App for like 3 people excluding myself (I’m an iPhone user).

      Soo, yeah that’ll probably not happen :(.

        This post gathered a bit of traction. So hopefully more people help out. F droid is a better marketplace for oss compared to playstore because people downloading from playstore act entitles a little, especially towards oss software.

        You could’ve considered F-Droid.

        It’s sad. Anyway, good luck with future development!

      I personally love PWAs — why the hate for them? Personally I think more apps should be PWAs instead.

        Native apps will always be better, imo. I think less apps should use PWAs. No offense to those who use them, though. It’s just my personal preference.
