Do I go native or web app?
Simple question really, do I go native iOS for the iPad or do I go web based?
Thoughts on this would be much appreciated.
- rick888 15y agoIf you can go web app, do it. Over time, piracy is only going to get worse..and you can't pirate a web service. In addition to this, updates are much easier.
- mrkmcknz 15y agoGreat points made there. I feel the one thing that is dragging me to web app over and over again is the update procedure.
- zoowar 15y agoI saw a google/io video (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4f2Zky_YyyQ http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4f2Zky_YyyQ) on native versus html5 for android. The basic result was that with native you get access to all the latest hardware features and with html5 you get access after a long standardization process. Still, many apps don't require hardware features and don't benefit from native app features. The nytimes chrome link is a perfect example. Also, they've designed down to the device rather that include all the cross promotion nonsense that clutters their basic web page. https://www.nytimes.com/skimmer/#/Top+News https://www.nytimes.com/skimmer/#/Top+News
