- rorykoehler 8y agoI have never clicked yes to allow web notifications in my life. I have only once added a site as an icon on my mobile. The whole premise of this article is false. The real answer to whether to start with a site or an app is it depends. At Bibimapp we have an app [0] requiring sign up etc (launching beta next week) and a related site which is free to browse which provides value but approaching the problem space from a different angle. The site is essentially the top of the funnel. [0] https://bibimapp.com/ https://bibimapp.com/
- ransom1538 8y ago"Web has had notifications for years too." Yeah. But people don't use desktops anymore.
- pjmlp 8y agoSo what are all those laptops on every coffee shop I go to?
- menckenjr 8y agoNative means you also get background processing and access to things like geolocation and camera feed w/o needing a plugin.
