When given the possibility, I always use the web version over a native app. I do not want to install as few software as possible on my device, and (at least for the time being) the security model of the browser is well-known and customizable (to an extent).

I used to agree with this. That was before I developed the web version and was able to compare real performance. Web (WASM) beats both Android and iOS native apps. Only downside is initial data transfer (1.2MB). A bit funny since the iOS app is 20MB and the Android one is 5MB

Do you have some source or docs on what you did? You probably didn't need any device feature like the camera?

I haven't made the source public yet. Still too much work and I am not 100% sure about the implications. Camera can be accessed no problem

I haven't used any JS framework other than what's absolutely necessary for running the few WASM components

The browser supports ad blockers, apps do not. It's a no brainer.
