A whole million huh? Sorry, I'm really not impressed. Why is this becoming about native versus html5. The article has kind of an anti-Apple subtext to it too. I don't know. There was just something off about the whole post.
Native and web both have pros and cons. Some site used html5 despite the app store trend. Big whoop. I hope people use both in the future and I hope web apps get faster and the app store reduces fees. It's kind of a non story like filler to keep a page on TC filled for a bit.
- tomkr 15y agoI thought the whole "Web-apps makers are outsmarting Apple" angle was done by now. One of the reasons these kinds of sites work well is because Apple does a pretty nice job of allowing you to "appify" them. That kind of support makes it really nice, and shows that Apple is not trying to force people into the App Store. You might argue they overcharge you for using the App Store, but mobile web apps, when done well, are serious contenders for certain use cases. So there's really no reason to focus on this kind of drama.
