why not a proper Progress Web App so it can run on any device independent of app stores? it's not as though a social app needs deep OS integration. I'm sure Claude or Codex could vibe code that in an afternoon.

The central point of this app is to determine proximity of two devices. That's not possible today in a cross-platform way using web apps.

PWA has access to bluetooth (BLE on all platforms) and NFC on Android

This (EDIT: this app) is iOS only right now. And I hate the normalisation of giving websites access to Bluetooth and NFC.

I managed to make an ESP32-controlled RC car move by sending it commands from a webapp running on my Android phone last year. I don't believe I have telekinesis magic power, so I'd rather believe that this is not in-fact iOS only.

Sorry, clarified.

You can with the Geolocation API.
