Android has Instant Apps. Not sure how others feel but I hate it. Compared to a website it's slower to load, harder to share, and outside of my normal flow.

I guess it would be cool for a demo but I dunno. Also iOS apps are so large this won't be practical at all on cellular data.
- kitsunesoba 7y ago>Also iOS apps are so large this won't be practical at all on cellular data. They don't have to be. For example Tweetbot, which is a fully functional app, is only about 7MB. It's not hard to imagine that a single screen of an iOS app specifically optimized for space could be only a fraction as large – considerably smaller than the average site these days (10MB+).
- novok 7y agoThey're big because of swift. Tweetbot is small because it's still only Objective-C.
- kitsunesoba 7y agoThat should be changing as more apps drop older iOS versions and stop bundling Swift.
- jamil7 7y agoExactly, an app of mine targeting iOS13+ weighs in around 2mb.
