Reddit is just content that you browse and occasionally leave a text comment on, it fits browser perfectly.
A taxi app, on the other hand, has a lot of functionality that is very hard to fit into a browser and implement well.
- stavros 4y agoI have a location where I am and a location I want to get to. I need a way to specify the two, and a way to enter payment info. That is literally all a taxi app should do.
- pixl97 4y agoWhy is that all the taxi app should do? Getting a message "heavy traffic, your car has been delayed" is what everyone else seeming rational really wants. Messaging and awareness of the current state of the transaction they are in.
- stavros 4y agoBefore it arrives, you mean? That's still not something that a web page can't easily do.
- hakfoo 4y agoWhy not? You have a page with a piece of JavaScript on it. Every 30 seconds it pings back "What's the status of request 12345678?" and updates a div. If Domino's can display "your order has been handed to Steve for delivery", then a taxi service can say "Tom is stuck on the 405."
- golergka 4y agoOkay, that's the 90% of the taxi app. What about the other 90%?
