Oh, the future. The land of what ifs. Listen, you described your market already. Non technical people go to Google and type in facebook.com. A simple desktop app that they can just click will do. Still worried about future proofing it? Put it inside a webview and move on.
- dorfuss 10y agoOff topic - googling facebook.com drives me nuts. A couple of days ago I went to an administration worker at a university and asked her to help me with getting the vpn to connect to the net via university wi-fi. She told me to google the vpn to download it. I said: well, this is the very problem, I want to connect to the Internet, I cannot google it while I'm offline. People no longer distinguish between the address bar and google search, searching for files on your local drive or looking for them online. It's become one blob of "computer stuff". And you might think that when we moved from command line in DOS to Windows that was creating a new kind "stupid user". There is the next level, certainly.
