Android exists. Has 70% market share. Has all those native capabilities you crave.
So. Again and again I ask the same simple question: have all the things you're talking about happened there?
- h0l0cube 4y agoIt just might not be worth doing until browser vendors have a consistent renderer across all platforms (true for Firefox and Chrome) and until Apple loses its leverage. It might also be that it requires coordination and cooperation across all browser vendors to a degree that is unlikely. I’m not privy to the internal politics, so I don’t know which is the case
- dmitriid 4y agoSo the answer is: despite Android having all this, there's literally nothing to show fir this "might, if, maybe" etc. wishful thinking.
- h0l0cube 4y agoYou seem very animated about some aside I made in my OP comment, that was obviously made as a speculation. Not sure why. We're both speculating FWIW, so there's no real argument to 'win' here, not even a wager I'd consider making.
- dmitriid 4y agoIndeed it was speculation. So I asked you basically what your speculation was based on. Because we have a platform where no such speculation is necessary: Android is the dominant mobile platform, it already has all the capabilities you speculate about and so on. So, given that Android exists, and we see literally nothing come out of it as far as web apps are concerned, what are basing your speculations on?
