Installed and uninstalled already - not really sure I see the point of it. It's more cumbersome than just using the PWA (which doesn't require installing anything)

I can agree on this. I'm a dev.to user and I'm not registered to other Forems. So, basically:

  • If you belong to multiple Forems: You can benefit from this app.
  • If you only use Dev.to or another forem (but just one): Use the PWA itself.

Thanks for your feedback @jonrandy - I can see where you're coming from if you're only using the Forem app for DEV.

Personally, I benefit from being able to use the app to manage the multiple Forems I belong to and receive push notifications from all of them, but I can see how that wouldn't be a concern for you if you're only using one community.
