Seems like a lot of companies are trying to go “mobile first” while their apps are still missing core features found on their websites…so I just continue to use the websites, even if they are slower.
I don’t think I’m being unreasonable in wanting simple things to work. Things like preserving newlines in code blocks in the Reddit app—since 95% of my subs are technical—or showing what comment of mine someone is replying to in the Imgur app—since it might be anything I’ve commented on in the past few days, or years if someone was browsing in Random mode.

- heartles 9y agoExactly! The number of services that actually need to be an app to accomplish their goal is staggeringly low compared to the number of apps out there. I would far rather use a well-designed website that works for everyone with a web browser over a bloated, ugly app.
