Native android app #563

First of all, thank you for developing Phanpy, it is by far my favourite Mastodon client. Believe me, I've tried dozens of others (mainly because I was looking for a native android app) and none of them come close.

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. I do not like the way PWAs installed from Chrome work on my Android phone, as they insist on opening all links in Chrome and using Chrome for search instead of using my default browser (Firefox).

Describe the solution you'd like There are solutions to turn PWAs into native apps. Voyager, for instance, is using capacitor to release both an android and an iOS app. I wish Phanpy was released as a native app that I can install on my phone using one of these solutions.

Describe alternatives you've considered I've tried to install Phanpy from as a Firefox PWA, but it is not very reliable (slow startup and resume time, random crashes) and I had to give up.

Finally, I think that being present on app stores would make it easier for new users to find out about our favourite client.
