When you know that the features you're interested in can be made easily available by a simple web app.
- seemack 7y agoPerhaps I'm misunderstanding the logic but doesn't that mean using a fancy pen is "cringey as hell" since you can just use a simple ballpoint pen? Sorry, it just seems unnecessarily negative to me.
- Udik 7y agoYes, you are misunderstanding the logic. A normal web app doesn't need to be installed, disappears each time you close it, runs in a tight sandbox. Much better and lighter than have an app installed. Besides, I do find fancy pens cringey, but that's another story :)
- seemack 7y agohaha fair enough. Thanks for the clarification!
- VRay 7y agoIt's like you ask someone if you can borrow their pen, and they say "Sure, but only if I can rifle through your wallet and attach this GPS tracker to you"
- seemack 7y agoThis sounds like you're implying that all apps must require invasive permissions which is wholly incorrect.
