    I don’t get why Piefed isn’t an app itself? It’s like saying you need and app in order to use Instagram? It doesn’t make any sense to me at all. If Piefed wants to be an alterantive to Instgram, it needs to be an integrated app - not a service that is depending on running on third party software in order to work.

      Not who you responded to.

      It’s like saying you need and app in order to use Instagram

      That’s exactly what your Instagram app is: An application to use the Instagram “service”. The only difference is that the app is developed by the same people who develop the Instagram service.

      it needs to be an integrated app

      In some cases, an app is even just another design of the same web page you visit with your browser. The Netflix app you have on your Windows PC is just the web page wrapped in a certain way so that it looks like a program you find on your computer.

      That list up there are what you call “integrated apps”.
