Patreon app is literally their website. What does it do that the website does not? Notifications? Offline images? All of these can be done in your mobile browser.

Notifications, and no browser UI to get in the way. You can do a PWA, but that’s beyond the scope of the average users.

No browser UI to get in the way? Is it really that difficult to manage?
lka1988@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 month ago
I’m not the one complaining, I know how to manage all of that.
I’m talking about the average user.

No app needed. Tell me if it works on your phone.

That comic says to do the opposite and to NOT implement browser notifications…

Yup, because they are annoying, not because they do not work.
Pretty much every news site asks you to enable browser notifications.

Don’t forget data gathering.
