Yes, that's the whole idea behind having different devices and operating systems with different capabilities.
Why should users suffer the lowest common denominator because of lazy developers?
- Silhouette 7y agoThe lowest common denominator is not having the application available on your platform at all.
- dwaite 7y agoI'd rather them not have the resources to get an app working on my platform, then have enough resources to _barely_ get an app working on my platform.
- steve_adams_86 7y agoI wouldn't attribute it to laziness. Quality can really suffer when you need to maintain so many code bases. Not all teams have those kinds of resources.
- Razengan 7y agoPerhaps Electron/PWA should be seen as a last resort, not the norm, reserved for exactly such a situation: when you don’t have the resources to build native for all platforms.
- ayoisaiah 7y agoIt makes it a lot harder for solo developers or small companies to develop apps that work on all platforms
- ben509 7y agoWhy should customers pay for the development and maintenance of three apps when one is entirely sufficient for their needs?
