Seen a few people asking if there may be a Mastodon app available on #iOS and #Android.

There isn't but that's fine. If you visit your Instance on a mobile browser and save it to the home screen, it works *just like* any mobile app.

This a growing trend, that the app stores are becoming increasingly less needed the more powerful CSS, JS and HTML5 become. Apple & Android will always have their "Sandboxes" but I think we've hit critical mass where we'll soon be able to burst out from it.

@virt I use Tusky for this instance on my Android and it's working well. I agree that I'd prefer to stick with HTML5/CSS/JS/AJAX instead of having to use a privacy violating resource consuming locally installed app.
