- dmitrygr 9y agoI'm sorry. As a user, to me "offline mobile first experience" sounds like a synonym for "this website takes more than 30 seconds to load and drags my phone down to its knees and the author was just too lazy to write a native app". I don't mean that as an insult, but as a user that is precisely what that sounds like to me. Nothing about web apps I have access to acts to change my mind in this respect. They're all incredibly slow to load, especially over anything less than LTE. For extra credit, they usually take up so much RAM that Chrome RAM usage ends up kicking out all background applications out of RAM on my phone.
- tylerhou 9y agoDoes downloading and installing a native app take less than the time to load a webpage on your phone? In my experience, web pages in general load much faster than native apps.
- dmitrygr 9y agoI download apps when I have a good connection. I load websites when I need them. The latter is not always on a good connection
