Loqi [preview] [The Trandalorian 🏳️‍⚧️] My crankiest opinion: I hate apps.Most apps are just clingy bitches. They want to collect too much info, they take up too much space, they want to notify you of trivial bullshit. Most apps should just be websites.

Loqi App typically refers to a native app, usually a less functional version of a web site that is restricted to one or more proprietary platforms, but may also refer to the .app top level domain setup by Google that requires HTTPS https://indieweb.org/App
