> so I never need to install the Slack app

Same here for Twitter, Mastodon, the local news (push), weather (push and geo), public transport (push, geo and backround-service) and so on.

There are apps for all of them, but especially the apps in the long tail (local news, local public transport) are bad (as in: it is clear they are budget-restrained). I don't want to fill my phone with hardly-used, crappy apps, when a link to a website will suffice perfectly.

I use web-apps for anything possible. Via https://f-droid.org/en/packages/com.tobykurien.webapps/ and https://progressiveapp.store/pwas
