Reddit did have 3rd party Windows PC apps even tho it didn't have its own official app for Windows PC so i'm wondering if it will be the same for Kbin?

A Windows PC app version will improve performance since it doesn't have to run under a web browser like FreeTube

dunno... if your website sucks so hard efficiency wise that it needs its own 3rd party app...maybe make your site not suck so hard.

i never, ever needed a 3rd party tool to browse reddit on my phone other than standard browser... and were not talkin about a resource limited environment like a phone.

this is like having single-use items in the kitchen.. yeah, you'll get some marginal improvement, but management of 'the thing' isnt worth it

Dude i literally have a shitty old pc with a socket 775 pentium 4 and 3 gb of ddr2 ram and geforce 210 and rans on windows 7 enterprise 64 bit. That lags so hard on youtube with an old version of firefox 91.10.0esr (32 Bit). But on FreeTube it ran decently still a bit choppy in some places but its okay

ha, you really had to dig for that one

if youre running old hardware, you dont want windows

I tried linux but i wasn't satisfied so i'm fine with windows. Maybe if ReactOS has finally reached beta i might consider switching the os. And yes the old pc is the only one i have i really wish i get a new pc soon

Edit: Since my old pc sucks so much i kinda always borrow my dad's pc which is massively better than mine

For the record, that's an incredibly shitty argument.

"LOL GIT GUDER PC"

There's a better solution for legacy hardware on windoze, and you don't know what it is.

Just admit it, or STFU.

You have bigger problems than a 3rd party app if you get bogged down in a browser in 2023.
