Web3's iPhone moment 📱
What friend.tech taught us about web3 mobile UX, why PWAs are the future, and how to build your own with the ultimate web3 mobile stack!
Unless you’ve been living under a rock, you’ve heard of friend.tech: a social media app where users can purchase each other’s “keys” and unlock access to exclusive content & token-gated chat rooms.
But beyond the app itself, friend.tech made a breakthrough in web3 UX — bringing PWAs (or progressive web apps) to the spotlight & showcasing how powerful they are for both users & developers.
So we built the ultimate mobile stack for anyone to launch a PWA! 📱
Learn more about why PWAs are the future of web3 mobile, use our live template to get started quickly, and learn how to build your own PWA:
