yeah nah,
the FT, the bastion of PWAs because of the "if you have a subscription, we'll take 25% of that thanks" flipped to native almost as soon as the rules changed.
why? because the user experience sucked bollocks. It was slow, memory hog, and a massive massive bollockache to maintain. Don't get me wrong, thats not because they were bad at making the web app, its because the tech isn't up to scratch.
- rezmason 3y agoAre you talking about this? https://enterprise.ft.com/en-gb/blog/ft-app-now-available-ios/ https://enterprise.ft.com/en-gb/blog/ft-app-now-available-io... This says they just wrapped their web app in a native app, like a web view, so they could then use system features that their web apps couldn't access. So are you sure you're not using a web app after all? You might be using the same tech as you were before.
