Gosh, I’m really sick of this argument.
Sure, everyone loves hand-crafted, beautiful, native apps. But I will tell you this: it is possible to build a great app using any technology. It’s just a matter of taste & effort. My favorite tool that helps me get my day job done is VSCode. Do I care whether or not the damn thing is native or not? NO! Do I care that it gobbles some meager gigs? NO! Memory not being used is memory being wasted. Use my RAM, dammit. I can buy more. Use whatever you have to do to keep making this lovely thing that saves me so much time everyday and practically reads my mind as a JS developer! It has a elegant, raw beauty to it that totally fits my needs.
If it uses some hybrid web technology stack, what do I care? Is it great? To me, yes!
Make great apps. I don’t care how you do it.
- blondin 6y agoyou have to understand one thing. if you have been using computers and applications that come with them for a while you have an intuitive sense how how big, how fast, and how much resources some of them should take. that's what is happening here. most people who are disagreeing with you know intuitively that it is not right, for a chat app -- going for an easy target here -- to grab all your available resources.
