Nostr Web Client

Android is not very good as well. I have an app in the stores.

- Google was actually more strict than apple

- push services are a secondary gatekeeper on both platforms

- an app that is not in Play store (fdroid, apk download, ...) has basically zero adoption. This matters especially for crypto and communication apps that rely on network effects.

So Progressive web apps are one of the good solutions.

Android Is open, I can write app and distribute it over F-Droid or just as signed APK over GitHub. For free and now. You can't do this on iPhone

This is all what matters. I didn't presented argument about size or network affect. Your comment on it is irelevant.

I stated that Apples ecosystem is closed. Which is simply true. Android is open. Yes, you have to do same extra effort to replace Google servicies (foreground service with sticky notification for delivering of the push notification, for example), but you CAN.
