As a hypothetical user who doesn’t post on niche tech forums, I totally prefer a native app over a web app
It’s pretty
It’s fast
It’s not stuttery-stoppy
I can swipe back and forth between pages without waiting 4 seconds for everything to display, and then inevitably move around right before I fucking tap
It’s on the app store
I can use it instantly.
I can remove it instantly.
I don’t know what sandboxing is
I don’t care about privacy
There are convenient share buttons
I can use it on the single device I use regularly
I can screenshot it
I can unfortunately change the style by updating
It can use my battery when it’s closed? Wait wha-
ooh notification
...
I’m gonna go use facebook now like a normal person, later nerds
- int_19h 8y agoEvery time I try to use Facebook app - on any platform - it breaks my workflow about 5 minutes in, because I can't post a link to a group (or another comment) in a comment. Some kinds of things are just a better fit for the web.
- p1necone 8y agoI prefer native apps over web apps, but for most things I vastly prefer a website to both of those. I shouldn't have to install an app for every single thing I want to use, especially if I only use the thing once a week or so.
