PWAs as Tools to Benefit Future Development of Nostr

In light of Apple's recent actions against Damus and the broader zap functionality, concerns are growing among the Nostr community and beyond (thank you, nostr:npub1sg6plzptd64u62a878hep2kev88swjh3tw00gjsfl8f237lmu63q0uf63m for highlighting this on the blue bird app).

As the pushback from traditional institutions - including tech companies, governments, and regulatory bodies - is likely to escalate, many are exploring viable alternatives. One of these, as recommended by nostr:npub1cmmswlckn82se7f2jeftl6ll4szlc6zzh8hrjyyfm9vm3t2afr7svqlr6f among others, is shifting towards Progressive Web Apps (PWAs). This strategy could help us break free from the limitations imposed by centralized app store authorities who dictate what can and cannot be incorporated into Nostr clients and other apps interacting with censorship-resistant protocols.

If you're new to the concept of PWAs, check out my brief overview: https://lnshort.it/pwa/

Another plus, Apple will not know what apps you use during your lifetime lol

You’re right to a certain extent. Yet I’m not sure an iPhone user is able to hide anything from Apple, no matter what they say. Closed source stuff can’t effectively convince me in anything.

That said, I’ve been planning to ditch Apple for years now. Still failing 😅 .. but I’m getting closer day by day 😄
