Hey, @Bitman! Appreciate your kind words, man!

I'm just only an elderly, SN user with very little insight into many things

Yeah, I'm not that young anymore too (40+) and I understand your worries and appreciate your advice! Thanks!

so maybe wait until you get better feedback from the rest of the community

I did that a couple days ago^[1]. If you have some time to spare feel free to read the entire discussion to understand better why I prefer native apps.

I'm wondering whether you realize that there's some serious million dollar funding behind SN, and that it'd be very difficult to outperform their team.
...
It'd be very difficult for any person to perform a code turn around as quick as that - k00b spends 80 hours a week on the project. I see others have extolled the virtues of PWAs and the wisdom of choosing that route - and I can't help but agree with them.
Perhaps you could ask the SN community whether there is a gap in the market for you to channel your energies on another Bitcoin-centric app?

Yeah, I know I can't "compete" or outperform their team and I have no intentions on doing so. For now, I've been building the app only for fun and because I prefer native dedicated apps for reading & writing comments on my low-spec devices. My goal for this app is to make it simple and effective for reading, commenting and zapping. And maybe push-notifications. The rest is optional and/or low-priority.

Thank you again, @Bitman!
