Don't upload your PWA to the app stores
I think it's not correct to conflate the App Store and the Play Store like this. Apple is very hostile to PWAs in the App Store, whereas Google wrote a tool to easily package your PWA for the Play Store https://github.com/GoogleChromeLabs/bubblewrap
So for me, I publish to the Play Store to get some free users who find my app that way. App Store, not worth the headache of trying to skirt Apple's rules.
Ideally I think app stores should allow listing PWAs directly, rather than banning them (like Apple) or forcing them to use a wrapper (like Google). Whatever complaints people have about that (app can change without review, etc) also apply to the current situation in the Play Store. Once your wrapper PWA is accepted, you can change the website however you want. So what's the point of the wrapper?

How I published a gratitude journaling app for iOS and Android using SvelteKit and Capacitor
After some research, I felt fairly confident going into the Google Play review process. Google Play makes PWA a first class member and they even offer bubblewrap to help you convert your PWA into an app you can submit. I also read that people had success with using PWABuilder for their apps (which uses bubblewrap internally). I figured my Capacitor app would have a decent chance to pass.

I'm working on a minimalistic Micro Journaling app
Of course, it doesn't use any native framework, it's a pure Progressive Web App (PWA) wrapped as Trusted Web Activity. The advantage with this is you do not need to bundle it every time there is an update, you just deploy it to the PlayStore once and then it stays up-to-date with the web app automatically. You also do not need to worry about users using old versions, aka. your backend needs to handle only the latest version. I used bubblewrap for the bundling, but there is also a GUI from Microsoft called PWA Builder.

I'm working on this minimalistic Micro Journaling app (Django, Nuxt, PWA)
The Django backend is not packaged, it just exposes an API to sync and process data, only the Nuxt frontend is packaged. It is more or less straight forward and works out of the box with the nuxt/pwa package for PWA and bubblewrap or PWA Builder for TWA.

PWA SvelteKit with router-auto submission to google play and istore
If you don't like PWA Builder I'd look at Bubblewrap it's made by Google to make an Android app out of a PWA.

I made a website that helps co-parents easily track their children's shared expenses.
Another inexpensive way of getting an app is by creating a PWA and building an app by using tools like https://github.com/GoogleChromeLabs/bubblewrap

Let’s build a Native(-like) Web App (NWA)
Progressive Web Apps (PWAs) are great and you can even publish them — with limitations — to most of the app stores out there via tools like bubblewrap or PWA Builder. See also Trusted Web Activities (TWAs) and my previous post Publishing a Progressive Web App (PWA) on the PlayStore — What works and what doesn’t (in 2021).

Share target not working for apps published to Google PlayStore
I directly used bubblewrap, but it's the same thing which PWABuilder.com use too.

Phanpy: A minimalistic opinionated Mastodon web client
This has lead to a delightful variety of custom clients like https://phanpy.social/ - https://elk.zone/ is another example that I really like.
It's the complete opposite of the Twitter API situation, where they locked their API down and killed the entire ecosystem of third-party clients.
- Elk client for Mastodon is in Preview mode
- Mozilla.social is live and open to registration

Do we think about vector dbs wrong?
And there are tons of third party clients. I think Tusky is the best one I’ve seen for Android, and there’s an interesting web-based one called Elk that’s very nice. You load up https://elk.zone and then use it as a front-end to sign in to your server.

BBC on Mastodon: experimenting with distributed and decentralised social media
The answer to that is https://elk.zone atm, a fun and chef's kiss interface (built with nuxt). You can insert elk.zone/ before any Mastodon url. https://phanpy.social is also great, with multi columns even for lists.
A browser plugin (like "Mastodon – Simplified Federation") to follow, favorite, etc. directly on any server has also improved my experience a lot.

Also try logging in through https://elk.zone/ if you want to stick with the familiar twitter interface
-
Why are reblog/favourite numbers different between platforms?
For me, the boost/reply-numbers using https://elk.zone have been much more reliable than the original app. (It's also the (web)app that convinced me. Mastodon is the real deal.)

New Mastodon for Android release coming next week [...] new profiles, new settings, new search, and more
Try elk.zone. You can log into the UI with an account from any instance. I use it as my main UI and it looks pretty close to twitter, at least close enough for me.
