It’s actually pretty comparable to the situation with desktop Linux where the gaps between the layers are subtly perceptible, which leads to a sort of slipshod/duct tape impression that isn’t great.
- partiallypro 7y agoA lot of native apps feel clunky because they are poorly coded and thought out. As OP said, 90% of cases are where companies don't need native apps, because they simply don't require that performance level or permission set.
- wayne_skylar 7y agoThis is the right answer. You've got the web paradigm of the nav bar showing up when you scroll up (among other oddities). I think it would be very easy to have a mobile browser extension to show pages full screen in a special interactivity mode to make most mobile apps work on the web.
