Hi @ArtReYou , @maraoz

Thanks for your comments.

I just claimed a DCL name and I feel better now. Thanks for the warning.

I also want to say a few words about the benefits of having a mobile app besides a website:

- People prefer in-app experiences over websites.  
Mobile users spend 88% of their time on apps.  
(source: [Apps Far Outpace Browsers in US Adults’ Mobile Time Spent - Insider Intelligence Trends, Forecasts & Statistics](https://www.emarketer.com/content/the-majority-of-americans-mobile-time-spent-takes-place-in-apps))

- Mobile apps usually work faster than websites.  
Almost always, mobile apps have smaller footprint than websites.

- Apps are designed with a mobile-only approach. On the other hand, websites are designed with a desktop-first/mobile-second approach.  
Mobile-specific design results in better UX and allows intuitive usage.

- Push notifications  
iOS still does not support web push notifications however, there is no such limitation for mobile push notifications.

- Almost all known web platforms (Twitter, Reddit, Facebook, Instagram, etc.) have their mobile apps although they have a website app because of the benefits of having a mobile app.

@ArtReYou  
I understand your concern about the login feature. It is on the list because the app users are requesting this feature .  
If it stays on the roadmap and is implemented in the future, it will never be a requirement to use the app.

I am kindly requesting you to re-consider your vote based on my comments.

… and @maraoz thanks for highlighting that this is a proposal for further development of a working product. It is not for an idea and not even for a prototype.  
There is already a great amount of software development effort invested in it.

I tried to submit a detailed proposal but in case if anything is unclear I will be happy to answer your questions.

Thanks
