Goodbye, Native Apps :(
- delvin0 6y agoHybrid apps are taking over native apps which ran smoothly on both low-end and high-end computers
- jart 6y agoWith native apps, our choices are: (1) Size efficient (2) Multi operating system (3) Graphical User Interface Choose two. If (3) is a must have, then chromium is the only game in town. However if we're targeting an audience that feels comfortable with terminals, then ANSI interfaces are well-standardized, widely supported, and work great. One good example of an app written in such a way is the redbean web server (https://justine.storage.googleapis.com/redbean/index.html https://justine.storage.googleapis.com/redbean/index.html) where your web gui can be bundled inside an executable zip file and the user just launches it locally via chrome, and it can access any native things you need.
