but web apps can usually offer the same experiences if programmed well
it may be a current situation that some web apps seem inferior, but it is not a necessity
plenty of web developers cannot even use js as a programming language or companies do not heavily invest in web apps since 1. they already invested in a native app 2. apple crippled the web via webkit and now tries to flat out crash web capabilities on iPhones
I mean who will invest in a country with a dictator? Would you build something if the dictator can demolish it any time? Like Apple actually does this with businesses that had a web app strategy?
once companies see all platforms supporting web app technology, wait 5-10 years and then judge
if 90% of the best app programmers migrate to the web stack and flickering html-sites and css stylests are history, I would be surprised if anybody could say whether an app is native or not...
and again, you do not really see native AND web app from the same company on the same platform
but actually commanding pixels on a screen is just as possible with js as with other languages, in the end you instruct c++ or rust coded browsers with js to perform tasks and there is webassembly too
and of course, backend with supercomputers but actually it is possible from native too
- troupo 3y ago> if 90% of the best app programmers migrate to the web stack and flickering html-sites and css stylests are history, Why would they be history? What's stopping these developers (or the developers not working on native apps) from creating non-flickering html-sites? Are you seriously suggesting that the only reason these sites flicker is because all capable people are creating native apps? > but actually commanding pixels on a screen is just as possible with js as with other languages, in the end you instruct c++ or rust coded browsers with js to perform tasks and there is webassembly too So where is this abundance of great beautiful amazing non-flickering web apps? What's stopping you from creating them now?
- phartenfeller 3y agoI fully agree, and that is precisely why the EU is doing a great job regulating this, and they shouldn't stop and punish Apple more for their response actions. Apple should allow other browser engines, and these should be able to leverage the OS capabilities comparable OSes are giving to their browsers.
