,,In addition, Apple has been underfunding Safari for the past decade leading to missing critical functionality and a buggy experience for Web App developers thus ensuring that Native Apps, another Apple revenue source, are the only viable solution.''

It's not just funding. Apple changed webapps to delete indexedDB periodically even if they are inatalled on the home screen.

There's no way to have a great experience if you can't store data permanently.

What if you store the data in a back-end, just like native mobile apps?

Somebody has to pay for that backend, making it hard to build free apps.

It also impacts the UX of the app with more complex caching or having to load things over the network as you use it.

I'm excited because if Nostr for this reason: it can be used as a general storage for small data.

It's not good for storing media, but for other things it can be used as a backup and communication tool for web apps.
