They don’t have to be, as far as I understand it. I’ve installed a few websites as apps on my phone (because their app had trackers in it) and they can work really well. Examples are Bluesky and Flipboard.

An example where I agree with you is LinkedIn - installed as a web app due to trackers - but they know this, and the whole point of their app is to get you with Facebook and Microsoft trackers, so they make the web app experience miserable on purpose.

But (and correct me if I’m wrong) a PWA made by a non-surveillance capitalist could be just as good as a native app.

Valid. Except on some browsers e.g. Vivaldi you can put sites on a list that retain their cookies even when you clear the rest.

Why not a PWA?

I thought that I would need Yunohost to take care of all the web hosting stuff in the back ground…? Are you saying to just push files into the VPS barebones, or into Yunohosts website app shell? (Sorry I’m new to VPS stuff).

And how would you push the files from Codeberg? what is the method?

If I host a website on Yunohost can I push the files from Codeberg to it using git?

Does anyone know if you can deploy files to Yunohost using Git? Or via a url from a git repository?

I’d like to host a website using Yunohost, and push the files to it from Codeberg.
