This doesn't seem true of everyone, at least for Reddit or Twitter. No matter how many times it tries to get me to install the native app, I'm always going to keep using the web app.
From other comments on Hacker News, I don't think I'm alone? I don't know how many die-hards there are, though.
- locutous 4y agoThere is a very strong gravity source on hacker news for the compute efficient solution. Native over interpreted is one such manifestation. I'm with you preferring the web sites, I think big tech is generally into the better data harvesting potential of native. So you have companies that push their native apps hard when a PWA would be fine. There is truth to the ability of native to provide a better interface. I've built PWAs and cordova and now capacitor apps and I've experienced those limits. But the reality is, >95% of the time it just doesn't matter.
