↳ In-reply-to » @prologic I could, but something I was wondering is: why not share the codebase between the webapp and the mobile app so that such discrepancies are minimized? Otherwise there's parallel development going on at all times, which violates the [DRY](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Don'trepeatyourself?useskin=vector) principle.

@prologic@twtxt.net nah, that’s just not true. It’s a consequence of the technology choice to not allow any javascript at all on the front end. With javascript (or one of the things that transpiles to javascript), there are several options for making apps that work on web and mobile with quite a lot of the code shared between the two.

Another option is compiling as much as possible to WebAssembly. This thread looks interesting on that score.
