The Github outage was about internal clients. Phone apps are a reasonable place to say things are known to be unreliable and can't be fixed. Your IP address changes when you leave the house.
Btw, PWAs added offline capabilities to websites. I hate how the only thing that got used for was these stupid pages that look like you were able to reach the site but it's actually just saying you have no internet, like YouTube.
