Ask HN: Are Apple App Clips Dead?
https://developer.apple.com/app-clips/
- chews 5y agoNo, I think they’re just an underused feature. I’m building one.
- qgin 5y agoIf they devoted a few cycles to improving mobile web development app clips would be 100% unnecessary. But a lot of money comes from the App Store.
- damvigilante 5y agoUsed one to pay for parking the other day. Was nice not to need to download an app.
- tapoxi 5y agoI've seen the Toast app clip pop up a few times when paying for dinner with a QR code. Seems like a neat idea and lets me avoid installing a whole app.
- xmh 5y agountil now I never saw one.. but I like the idea to use a feature without installing the whole app. But I think the developers must force users to use them?

- yen223 5y agoI have yet to see an App Clip out in the wild
- Jxl180 5y agoI have on a parking meter. I scanned the app clip QR-like code and a lite version of the parking app popped up for me to pay. Felt incredibly native and more trustworthy than a QR code taking me to a site.
- aaaaaaaaata 5y agoWhy? Less visible redirects? No ugly address bar+controls? The PWA people need to know!
- affyboi 5y agoI used an app clip for a restaurant menu once
