Voyager might become a native App in the future! (sort of) (lemm.ee)

It is a limitation of a PWA. A native app (wrapper) will likely be coming though, and a custom Capacitor plugin could theoretically interface with the native API to switch out icons. Theoretically. No promises though :)

How is your performance with Voyager?

[–] kryllic@programming.dev 6 points 1 year ago

In my opinion, it's been great and feels pretty close to native anyway. Some issues with the screen freezing when trying to scroll after swiping away from a post but other than that, it's super nice. Plus updates are so quick to install, really like that too.

Problematic

I get lots of random freezes, actions not registering, etc

Doesn’t make it unuseable, but it’s not a great experience

With all browsers?, here runs fine with chromium.

The main issue is Safari, bugs in webkit bog everything down. And iOS is stuck with it.

[–] BURN@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

No browser as far as I know. I installed the PWA and haven’t touched anything else.

I’m on iOS exclusively with no plans to use a desktop interface

I think it's acceptable, though I am working on my own ... for now experimental ... Lemmy client in C++/Qt/QML ... maybe eventually for desktop and mobile devices alike :)

A desktop client would be a game changer for sure.
