They supposedly can be disabled in settings- but we all know that won’t last. They’re going full Microsoft Skype mode and it’s only a matter of time.

    In theory PWAs can be configured to run offline, whether they’re doing that I don’t know.

    The desktop app looks like it’s electron though.

      I know, one of the best PWAs I’ve seen is Draw.io, fully usable offline, with both device and browser storage.

      The Revolt’s one however, even though delivered as a PWA, seems to be only the login page. If already logged in, it throws a “Network error.” dialog. Haven’t checked the desktop one.
