In past startups, I've made a mobile website in lieu of releasing a native app, and it was a good choice in retrospect. Turns out some big companies do this too. I've written up some thoughts on when/why startups should consider this. https://medium.com/@philipfung/add-to-homescreen-websites-an...

[Introducing a New Web App Tool] Launching your app outside of the Apple/Google App Stores can be advantageous, esp. when App Store policies are restrictive (e.g., free speech apps like Parler) or beta testing is difficult (TestFlight!). For this purpose, I've open-sourced a JS library called 'ADD-TO-HOMESCREEN' that lets users easily add mobile websites to their phone home screen. This library has been rigorously tested, with an 85-90% install rate on home screens from past companies. With this library, and the recent addition of web push notifications in iOS 16.4, web apps can now function comparably to App Store apps , but without the restrictions. There's nothing like this out there so i hope it can be helpful. If useful, hope you can star it on GH or share with others! thanks

love this program. genetic screening is definitely under-utilized and is useful for prevention even for relatively younger employees at startups. will sign my wife up.

Congrats david, teng, dafeng!
