My reasoning for loathing snap was their refusal to even allow a snap client for windows phone to exist.
- jdhn 9y agoThere actually was an unofficial Snap client for Windows Phone for a time. I thought it was pretty good to be honest.

- electic 9y agoSounds like they made the right choice because the platform collapsed. It makes no sense spending design and dev time on a platform that simply isn't taking off.
- michaelbrooks 9y agoI think he's on about allowing a third party to create and support a Snapchat app for Windows devices. There was 6Snap which worked really well, but got shut down because Snap were forcing third parties to close their apps. Someone also created an open source app on Windows, but I'm not sure what happened to that one.

- michaelbrooks 9y agoI don't loathe Snap, but I do dislike their decision for not supporting Windows 10. Microsoft even offered a cash incentive to Snap for creating an app and Snap still outright said no. Surely no matter how much you hate a platform, if you're being offered an incentive, you would say yes?
- daveFNbuck 9y agoThere's a huge opportunity cost in putting some of your developers on creating an app for a niche market. Snap probably felt that Microsoft's incentive didn't cover that cost.
