Hi! I was just browsing Lemmy apps and came across this. I just wanted to say, this is AMAZING for a web app. I was previously using jerboa, but honestly this feels smoother. The only really prior experience I had with PWAs was an app for my work, which is super janky, not to mention most mobile websites are awful. Not so here. I will definitely be using this now.

The user interface and features is awesome, but I think it suffers from being a PWA in smoothness, this one can't compare against Summit for Lemmy for example.

I've heard of a lot of complaints on smoothness which is interesting to me. I use Voyager because it's the smoothest and fastest experience. All of the dedicated apps for me are occasionally laggy, glitchy, and slow, no matter which I try, but Voyager is like butter.

So I'm curious...what OS and browser are you on where it gets laggy and glitchy? I'm on Android using Brave browser and it's damn near perfect.

I use Chrome and well, yeah maybe lack of smoothness isn't the right term, this app is incredible and keeps improving each update (for instance I think is way smoother in latest update lol), but go and try Summit for Lemmy, maybe you'll understand what do I mean about "smooth as a stock app"

I normally use Firefox but I've found chromium (Brave) to be smoother

[โ€“] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

But then the links don't open in Firefox, which is a dealbreaker for me

Same. I'm also using Brave just for Voyager and Firefish. I really wish Firefox had better support for PWAs.

I only use Chrome and yeah I have read it is better with it.
