- vsnf 3y agoWhat if I want to program in Java, not JavaScript? What if I don't want to learn how to work with PWA and instead just want have an easily offline-accessible app? What if I wanted to add in-app purchases? There's plenty of reasons for apps like Flappy Bird to be on the store.
- rokkitmensch 3y agoThe universe really doesn't cater to the howls of "but I just want to!"
- vsnf 3y agoFair enough. What if I need to program in Java, not JavaScript (because it is a requirement of the project)? What if I need it to not be PWA (because some of the libraries are native-only)? What if I need to add in-app purchases (because it is our business model)? Does changing "want to" "need to" make a difference? It shouldn't.
