The is a PWA, which means it is a cross platform app that can be installed on most devices

I wasn’t really interested in catering to the 0.00001% of users who disable Javascript. I like the standards of the open web and think they’re worth building on.

While imperfect, there’s nothing comparable in building cross platform applications that are also secure, easy to develop for, easy to release, easily capable of being audited

* HTML is the standard of the open web.

* It's cross platform and doesn't need to be installed on any device.

* It doesn't need to be “audited”. It's secure. It's easy to develop for. It's laughably easy to release.

* You weren't interested in accessibility, or people with bandwidth restrictions or connection problems, or who are just tired of the relentless firehose of shit that comes in on the “javascript” channel.
