BTW, I can access both of these platforms perfectly well through a browser - my Pixelfed account I can even add to @phanpy (y no Peertube?).

I'm legit asking; I've been wondering this from the beginning of the smartphone era. After all, as @pluralistic says, an app is just a website wrapped in IP.
