[Ribbit-Users] PC Program Possibility

[W4CKX]

Hello Matt,

We are working on a PWA Progressive Web App so that the same app works on
Android, iOS, Windows and MacOS... so it will work on laptop.

Development has been slow, but we have a new developer interested to join
us so we are heading in the right direction.
