What problem do you want to solve?

Apple bans torrent clients on the Appstore

What do you think is the correct solution to this problem?

Having the option to save instant.io as a webapp. This could allow downloading without having a tab always opened in safari

This is a great suggestion. I assume you mean to implement a PWA version of the app!

+, That would be amazing

This is possible, but the following components need to be added:

• [ ] PWA manifest
• [ ] <meta name="apple-mobile-web-app-capable" content="yes"> tag, for iOS installability
• [ ] iOS splash screen, similar to Crossnote, to avoid lower quality UX when PWA is removed from memory on older devices
• [ ] iOS icon for home screen (needs to be either 180x180 or 360x360 for support, 360x360 preferably)
• [ ] service worker (for Chromium Android and Desktop install support)
• [ ] AppScope catalog registration
• [ ] an index.html file people can actually find and edit (extremely important)
• [ ] PWA install prompt (for iOS, use workaround, due to missing support)
• [ ] P2P updates (optional, would help improve user experience) I hope that, within the next few months, instant.io becomes a PWA.
