It takes longer to get to market with an app, especially if its your first. No contact with users == death.

  But you also only get really once chance that with that user. Give them a crappy experience and they'll never come back. A web app is already starting at -100 points.

    > Give them a crappy experience and they'll never come back. Is that even true for a website though?

    In the early days, that is actually okay. Unless you did a large marketing campaign (you shouldn't), the number of people who never come back because of your crappy MVP will be small. And the group will likely be small enough where your product doesn't get a bad reputation either. But you absolutely need to get feedback from those users who never come back so that eventually the product gets better and gets traction. I think tools to collect that indirect feedback (e.g. click heatmaps) are more mature on web overall. Collecting direct feedback, talking to users, is equally hard regardless of web or mobile.

    ...in absolutely no way is this true. Where did you learn this? Who taught you that websites are 100 points worse (on whatever scale, you never say) than mobile apps?
