@MistralAI I have a hard time finding an APK for Android that doesn't require me to log into the Google Play Store. So currently I am using the web version.

Why do you need an app for everything? If the web version works, for literally ANYTHING, use it over the app.

Most apps are HTML web hooks for the site anyway and are meant to add tracking telemetry and nothing more over what is provided by the fucking website.

And there are two apps that can help with this: Hermit and Native Alpha. They present wep pages as apps.

Android and Apple already do this shit without the need for an app, called PWA. Why would anyone need another app to do this thing already integrated into the OS?
