Web still isn’t optimal for mobile interactions: layout, fonts, scrolling, performance, etc… Their solution seems somewhat specific to their needs. Sections and screens aren’t the right abstractions for many other kinds of apps. May still be right for them since for big companies percentage improvements are worthwhile doing and maintaining.

How could web made to be more optimal?
- pwinnski 5y ago
  Optimal is a superlative, not a comparative, so "more optimal" is a non sequitir. My opinion is that the web will never be the optimal user experience, although it offers enormous benefits in ubiquity and ease of access. That doesn't mean we shouldn't try to improve the ux of the web up the limits of security, but native solutions will always have a UX edge. The web is optimal for things that native apps can never match, but ux is not one of those things.
