"The UX for the user would be, for most non-game apps, identical."
In theory, this is true. In practice, it's just hit or miss. I think it's just hard to maintain web across all the different platform and screen sizes. It's probably due to the fact that an iOS developer specializes in one platform and most web development shops will have to support all platforms.
"If Apple would allow web notifications"
I do not use apps because of notifications. I use apps because in general, the performance and experience is much better.
- sneak 5y agoIt's also hard to maintain two entirely separate apps in two entirely different languages for two entirely different platforms/APIs, all while giving up nearly a third of your CLV to a rentseeking middleman.
- nouveaux 5y agoI completely agree. I'm just sharing my experience. I wish web apps were better so we don't have to download so many apps.
- jacobr1 5y agoWhat we need is better support "native hybrid" apps. For example, you can create "app" that is just a link to browser. There are plenty of action you don't want random web-apps to perform due to security/sandboxing issues, but if you can grant explicit permissions that issue goes away. It is one of the reasons think like election exist. But could apple/goog provide a better electron that was built into the OS?
