> Are there any limitations compared to a native app?

Probably only minor ones; three come to mind:

- The web app has to be loaded every time (~700K total right now), whereas the native app works offline. This could be mitigated with a progressive web app, though.

- Fullscreen mode is usually blocked by mobile devices for websites, so you always see e.g. the address bar. That’s just a visual thing, though.

- I’d assume that native audio APIs would allow for more control (and are likely easier to work with too).
