Why we chose a PWA

Note! Technical jargon ahead - not important unless you care about tech stuff.

A progressive web app (PWA) is an app that's built using web platform technologies, but that provides a user experience like that of a platform-specific app. [MDN]

Honestly? We (and most other apps) don't need any of the features provided by iOS/Android apps: we focus on providing a seamless and user-friendly experience. By opting for a PWA, we eliminate barriers between you and meaningful conversations. No app store approvals, no intrusive permissions — just immediate access to a world of engaging conversation starters.

So go ahead and enjoy:

• No App Store Hassle: Simply visit our website to start using smalltalk instantly. No account needed.
• Quick installation: If you choose to install, it's just a few taps — no lengthy downloads or updates required.
• Minimal permissions: Unlike some iOS/Android apps, smalltalk doesn't ask for unnecessary permissions like access to your location, contacts, or camera.
• Automatic updates: PWAs update to the latest version whenever you open it, so you always have the latest features without manual intervention.
• Universal access: Use Smalltalk on any device—iOS, Android, Windows, or Mac — through your preferred browser.
