Unlike ChatGPT's Android app, this doesn't actually seem to use Google Play Services for anything but OAuth, which is nice. Got it running on my deGoogled phone

Unlike ChatGPT's Android app, this doesn't actually seem to use Google Play Services for anything but OAuth, which is nice. Got it running on my deGoogled phone. It feels quite snappy, hopefully isn't just a webview.
- nxrabl 2y agoIf it feels snappy, why would it matter if it’s a webview? Native apps are a means to an end, they’re not virtuous in themselves.
- pona-a 2y agoBattery life can be one factor. Many older phones have enough RAM and reasonable CPU/GPU specs to reasonably run modern apps (at least without Google services in the background), but their degraded batteries are already showing their age. In my experience, web views can quickly eat up your battery, regardless of what's in them.
