As usual, I’m chipping away at my highbrow app for readers and writers. It’s an authoritative dictionary, a reverse dictionary, a spaced repetition system for vocabulary building, an e-book reader, and now a portal to Wikipedia.

I dare say it’s one of the most polished PWAs in existence, especially on iOS. Nevertheless, I’m experimenting with a Capacitor build, because most customers and visitors use the app on iPhone, but few are aware of Safari’s “Add to Home Screen” feature, so they miss out on the optimal UX. Also, the app could use the exposure and user trust of the App Store, as well as flourishes (pun intended) that Apple does not extend to PWAs, like haptics and a Liquid Glass icon.

Daresay is appropriately flowery, but it is in fact just one word, not two. I daresay you need to use your own app more :p
