I absolutely agree PWAs need to be a focus!
And I'm a realist, most people aren't going go switch devices over a Nostr client. That's a big ask, and it makes little sense as a short term goal. My only point is that trying to fight Apple on their turf to stay in the app store is a losing game. I think it would make the world a bet place if we all made better choices with we give our money too, but that's a different issue than what we are talking about here.
Maybe a hobbled version of Damus stays in the store as a funnel to bring folks in where the true PWA version is available? I don't know, but I think effort is being wasted trying to comply with them when we circumventing censorship should be the goal. First it's zaps, next it will be moderation and content.
