Right now there is a huge debate about app stores and mobile apps. Just a few weeks back, Twitter was rumored to get kicked off the app store (post Elon takeover).
This happened after a simultaneously coordinated attack by the largest advertisers on Twitter.
All of it was intended to hurt Elon and hurt "the new Twitter establishment".
All of it backfired and actually showed the weakness and negatives surrounding Web2: centralized power structures aim to tear down any threat that is being built up.
Elon's Twitter is a threat to them.
Web3 is a threat to them.
In my opinion, to build resilient apps you need to be un-deletable. One of the main ways to do this is to have both a robust web app and a robust mobile app.
The mobile app could get taken down for a million and one reasons. They don't even need to tell you why. Crypto apps have notoriously been targets.

In this clip:
- Mobile apps are overrated.
- Of course apps are needed for user experience in this day and age but, dealing with appstores is problematic
- What would happen if Apple went after web3 apps?
- Youtube already took down the LeoFinance channel and there’s no one to talk to or make things right
- This means that having a responsive and robust webapp that can be used on desktop and mobile is much better to deal with the permanent threat of being taken down by arbitrary and biased reasons
- Having a webapp you can spin it into many domains as they get shadowbanned so you basically have an impervious app, whereas native apps depend on centralized entities deciding what stays and what gets taken down
- All of LF devs have shifted to the webapp with a mobile-first approach, once it’s done then the mobile app might get some love, but that’s down the line
