@z428 Completely true. Friendica specific features seem to be ignored by all the apps I've encountered, while the web front is just fantastic - even on mobile. The only app I see trying to respect the feature choice is #Friendiqa but it's development is a bit slow.
and dealing with apps can be a drain to ones time even greater than different Fediverse accounts in itself
Indeed it is. There are little reasons for using apps for online services that work well enough inside a web browser. We've just gotten used to corporations pushing us towards their walled gardens.
@z428 Frankly I personally read social networks rarely, and the #AndStatus app helps me keep a track of what's unread and look at that stuff and react at any place, even when there is no good connection.
But what I value even more is a feeling that I really "own my data" :-)
- I keep my conversations in the app for more than ten years already. I don't know why :-)

But it seems like web browsers have that capability since I see Google doing offline stuff with their web GMail and docs interfaces.
If a developer wants such a feature, and it would have to be developed as an app or a webpage, he might develop as a webpage to be more open. It might be easier to implement that way anyway.
