Hey Gert, thanks for your support! With regards to PWAs, any website can theoretically become an app for the Prism (it'll be added to the home screen and will act like an app). Websites with a Web App Manifest will also have extra features, such as being able to work offline, too — since Twitter has a manifest, it will essentially act like a native app!

Build-wise, it's certainly something we're looking forward to release — a few features (such as some kind of update mechanism!) would probably be needed to be added, but I'm sure we can release an early Alpha build fairly soon!

Of course, the PinePhone I have is non-Pro, but I should imagine that there's some sort of build compatibility with Pros I hope... Something I'll have to check!
