Is it really that surprising they’re using web tech? Putting whether it’s an appropriate use of web technology or not aside, I’m not quite sure how they would be able to build a cross platform application [2] with a small team [1] without largely relying on code reuse of some kind. For better or worse, web tech has been the status quo for some time. Ironically making this the boring route for making these apps. As much as I hate how resource intensive these apps are, it’s also not really that surprising they’re built this way, knowing the current alternatives and their barriers to entry. Maybe one day we’ll have lighter weight alternatives, that are just as easy to use. or maybe they exist and they’re just not that well known ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ But yeah their “building something that lasts” just sounds like marketing speak [1] I’m assuming it’s a small company (since I’ve never heard of this before) [2] the app appears to support iOS, Android, Linux, macOS, windows & the web
