This article is shortsighted to me. Is it the end of mobile apps? No of course not, webapps are gaining features of native apps and will run more like a native app. The real difference will be the app delivery method. Is it the web or an App Store. An App is an App, if it’s written in Dart, Js, Swift, and C++ it doesn’t matter it’s still an app experience. That experience is fundamentally better than the web page and still has all the downsides of an app also. How we deliver the app experience may change but I don’t think it will. Is there are difference for th emend user if they have 100+ shortcuts vs 100+ apps from the App Store? What we are seeing is a competive market where you have to offer real value to attract users. No much different than the current indie game market. It’s completely overwhelmed with numbers of options and users are sticking with the top level of apps/games. Maybe the delivery of apps changes but honestly I doubt that as discovery is much better in the App Store.
