Yes, if you don't write a native app for every platform the result will be rubbish. That's not a "good architecture decision", that is common sense. If they don't do it that way it's to save money, because as we all know Facebook is strapped for cash. (Talking about Facebook and Instagram here, because as far as I know WhatsApp is completely native on every platform)
- snovv_crash 5y agoThis then also means a well defined server API without undocumented behaviour that individual implementations depend on. I stand by my assertion that the good scaling and separable builds is a sign of good architecture.
- vadfa 5y agoIsn't a non-leaky abstraction a given too? All these requirements are like saying "having a good experience using this app requires an app that doesn't crash all the time". Well, duh?
