   First thoughts on Bluesky: y u no PWA?

   Like, Elk can manage it. Pinafore managed it. Mainline Mastodon managed it! If the goal is decentralisation, why would you put app store gatekeepers in charge?

   And if funds are not infinite, why wouldn't you centralise effort on the web, particularly now that iOS Push is out?

     @slightlyoff I mostly agree, but in all fairness:
     - BlueSky is made using https://expo.dev by mostly one dev, managing the web app and native apps easily
     - https://staging.bsky.app/ is probably going to be PWA
     - native apps available in stores are good for adoption

     @robertvh I mean, when you buy into hype-ish tools like expo, you have 2+ problems
