Hmm... Isn't this app called web browser? There is not much more than it is needed when it is for consuming content.

- grenoire 8y agoReminds me more of a Gopher (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gopher_(protocol) https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gopher_(protocol)) kind of web in this case, given the stricter structuring.
- manfredo 8y agoYeah, it's a web browser in essence. But the UI, scrolling behavior, etc. are all handled by the app rather than the website. The result is often a much cleaner experience, especially compared to the average website's mobile web experience. There's also often extended functionality, like saving entire galleries of images, saving threads, etc. What I'd imagine Artstation doing is releasing a "generic art showcase app" (or exposing APIs to let 3rd parties do so themselves), where users can manually specify www.artstation.com. The app would provide all the features that the Artstation app did.
- ndnxhs 8y ago4chan works really well on mobile. The only thing an app did for me was presaving content so I could view it offline.
- lozenge 8y agoAnd how will they include ads? API users can just not display those.
- manfredo 8y agoMaybe when it pulls a gallery of photos from the API, it injects a few ads. Or the ads could be served by the app itself.
