Hold on a sec... does anyone else see a problem with the concept of an App for one person's political cartoons? I remain convinced that the App Store is at its core an evolutionary dead end.
- wvenable 17y agoIf web sites can be like apps, why can't apps be like web sites?
- Qz 17y agoBecause web sites have (mostly) visible source code. Ultra-specific apps are lock-in central.
- ugh 17y agoIsn’t that a value judgment, not a answer to the question? There is a difference but it doesn’t matter for most people. It’s simply true that apps can present information just as good or better than websites. That’s just how it is. And I don’t like it either.
- Qz 17y agoActually, I think part of what's going on here is that the App Store just makes it really really easy to sell things. It's just that it requires them to be in the form of 'Apps'. I think the simplified billing aspect is the key popularity point. App-ness itself has no future though.
- wvenable 17y agoWhat does source code have to do with anything if we're talking about a content site? You can't (legally) do anything with this person's political cartoons on his website. The point is moot.
- Qz 17y agoYou can legally do lots of things with the person's political cartoons.
