I've been using wefwef WebApps to browse the fediverse and am curious to understand how it works. I do not have knowledge deep knowledge about coding or programming.
You're viewing a single thread.
iOS has them too. Really it’s just saving a bookmark to your home screen that opens in a browser with a stripped down UI. I use Memmy for browsing Lemmy but I have wefwef saved to play with too. It’s pretty much indistinguishable from a native app. The only give away is how page elements load. It’s just slightly different.
Also lack of haptics, if you’re used to them
Haptics are possible if you aren't using iOS. https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Navigator/vibrate
