Except they don’t span multiple platforms and are locked behind app stores with 30% tax. There’s also no “view source” or “inspect” readily available for native so a substantial pathway for transfer of education, analysis, etc of apps disappears or is made opaque.
- pjmlp 5y agoThere were no web apps when I started into computing. Reverse engineering minified JavaScript isn't the only path to learning.
- cromwellian 5y agoSure, but it's a much better path than disassembling memory by rom dump which is how I got into computing 35 years ago. I also had the benefit of controlling 100% of my own computer, from $0000 to $FFFF, without App Store DRM systems and non-repairable sealed and glued cases making it difficult for me to get under the hood of the silicon I bought and paid for. Monopoly app stores with no opt-out for a device you paid $1000 should be straight up illegal.
