Big Sur made me switch to Mail and Calendar (away from GMail and GCal in Safari).
Oh my god is it fast and snappy.
GChat within GMail kept me in the browser, but they ruined it. Now I use the standalone Chat "app", which is some webframe crap, but hey, corporate standard.
Big Sur is like iPadOS and I always use native apps on iPadOS/iOS.
Can't imagine what a truly native Figma, Slack, JIRA would be like.
- chadlavi 6y agoI am really looking forward to better touch-screen support in Figma.
- joshmarinacci 6y agoYou've switched to Big Sur because it's snappy? I just installed the beta and it's super buggy with periodic pauses for no reason. Are you using it every day now?
- shadowtree 6y agoYes, on my main work machine. MBP13, 2018. Once you don't use browsers for everything, the machine is cooler and more responsive. Seriously feels as if I bought new hardware. I close Safari when not using it, same for all other browsers (have Brave, Chrome, ...).
- smabie 6y agoYeah, I'm not sure why the author was so excited about web apps. I have a 12 core Ryzen 3900x and all web apps are slow pieces of shit. I want native apps for everything and no, electron doesn't count. It's crazy how people all the time say on HN that performance doesn't matter and how optimizing code is a waste of time while I'm simultaneously frustrated about how slow the majority of software I use is.
