- Quequau 8y agoOh... I'm not faulting users for terrible and woefully incomplete UI design.
- dorfsmay 8y agoA lot of people, myself included, won't install an apps unless it brings value over the website. When you look at it that way, very few apps make sense for the user, most of them are built to capture information about you.
- Eire_Banshee 8y agoAccess is going mobile. I would make (the uneducated) argument that most people dont want to install your app, they just want to access your site from a mobile browser. I hate getting 5000 worthless push notifications and cluttering my phone with a bunch of apps.
- mercer 8y agoWhile that might be true in general, I don't think it's the case with reddit. Most apps offer significant advantages over any browser-based approach. It's possible that a browser-based reddit client could offer many of the same features, but so far, AFAIK, that's not the case. For HN I use a web app, and it's good enough, but sometimes I wish I had a client that offered as many features as the reddit apps I use.
