Native these days seems to mean "without a web browser under the hood".
- skrebbel 10y agoNot even that. I've seen plenty Electron and Cordova apps billed as "native". The word has lost meaning as to nontechnical users, it's mostly about "can i install it directly on my device". We need better terms.
- brianwawok 10y agoNative means "It doesn't run inside my web browser". But it being a window that runs a second web browser, that is OK.
- abalashov 10y agoIndeed. Wrapping a browser control is not "native".
