Why I Built BiteBeat as a PWA
Why I Built BiteBeat as a PWA
When I started building BiteBeat, I wanted one thing above all: make it ridiculously easy to use.
That is why BiteBeat is a Progressive Web App, or PWA. It runs in your browser, requires no app-store download, and can still live on your home screen like a regular app.
You can open BiteBeat from a link and start using it immediately. No searching, installing, or committing before you even know whether it works for you.
As a founder, choosing a PWA also means I can focus on building one great product instead of maintaining separate iPhone and Android apps. More time improving BiteBeat. Less time dealing with app-store overhead.
BiteBeat is designed for quick, real-life moments. Open it, log what you feel, and get on with your day.
Add it to your home screen
To keep BiteBeat one tap away:
iPhone: Open BiteBeat in Safari, tapShare, then tapAdd to Home Screen.Android: Open BiteBeat in Chrome, open the menu, then tapAdd to Home screenorInstall app.
That is it. BiteBeat will appear on your phone and feel just like an app.
