| Zedtopia is a PWA... Going Native App this early would cost too much to develop and maintain, and because our platform is for publishing, sharing, and discussing web2 and web3 content, our app would require using a webview to render user uploaded html. Thus might as well use a browser. Myspace was just a webapp.
Facebook started off as a webapp. Reddit is a webapp. I don't like installing extra apps unless necessary. Bloatware is annoying to my target user -- Early adopters and innovators. Thus PWA is the choice for this platform. It guarantees universal accessibility which is really important to our core values of inclusion and universal design. It's easier to make a webapp that uses the ecosystems' accessibility tools for deaf, blind, and impaired users. with things like webgl, we can even do lightweight gpu calculations and 3d presentations on a phone browser. a native app is only necessary for apps that use native functions. furthermore, until we move past jwt auth for api based apps and backends, platforms will still get hacked. |
