How Do I Download Thread Stash?

Thread Stash, while no longer available to download in the Google Play Store or Apple App Store, can be downloaded….sort of.

Thread Stash does require internet connectivity (it always has), but now that it’s a web application, I can deliver updates more easily — and you’ll get updates immediately. (No more checking the app stores for updates).

Thread Stash is a Progressive Web Application (PWA), which means it’s developed as a web application, but has many attributes of a native app.

I started Thread Stash as a native Android app that had to be downloaded through the Google Play Store. But over time, there was a lot of demand for an iOS application to be downloaded via the Apple App Store. But, at the time, I just didn’t have the necessary skills to pull it off.

I launched a web version to fill the gap, but the demand for a native iOS app kept building. So I gave it the good ol’ college try. I tried my best and I did release a version, but it was buggy and not the experience I wanted Thread Stash users to have, so I pulled it from the Apple App Store relatively quickly.

I also had written the original Android app in a dying-language. And the Google Play Store stopped supporting it. Therefore, it became impossible to release updates without a full rewrite.

So I went back to square one to develop a faster, better, and more user-friendly app that would be cost-efficient for my own needs, but that would also be a better cross-platform fit. And that’s how the latest version was born!
