Honestly, I find it more than a little ironic that the author is arguing against single-page web apps and then praises native apps as “doing it right”. Native apps are built and run in a way FAR closer to how single page web apps work in that the browser becomes the runtime environment and the server becomes mostly just an API. And you are not likely to ever see the kind of fluid results from a traditional full page render web app that you do in mobile. And mobile at this point has more edge cases to develop for than modern browsers. But the difference is, as I see it, there’s way less bickering on mobile over “the right way” because most developers use the native stack and instead of complaining about everything they think is hard, they roll up their sleeves and build a good product. Maybe if we all stopped whining about single page apps being hard and started worrying about making a great product, then we too could match the quality of a nice native app built by devs like yourself.
