TikTok is impressively multi-device. It works well on Android, iPhone, Android TV, and web.
Compared to Instagram, where the web version has always been behind the mobile version, TikTok really seems to make each device version the best possible.
- vips7L 2y agoI'm pretty sure for Instagram it's by design, not because of their technical stack.
- serial_dev 2y agoInstagram web is so bad that it’s the only logical explanation.
- kridsdale1 2y agoI have worked in the Instagram ios source. It is FUCKING AWFUL. They’re impressive in their business success given their code quality.
- qingcharles 2y agoThere isn't even a real iPad app (╯°□°)╯︵ ┻━┻
- swiftcoder 2y agoWorth considering that this is an explicit business decision (not enough iPad users to justify the development effort), versus a technical one. There were various builds with proper iPad layout floating around internally, but no one ever got the management buy-in to polish it enough to ship.
- vips7L 2y agoI don’t think I’ve ever worked anywhere that had decent code quality
- noveltyaccount 2y agoThey want you to use the app because it's harder to adblock in apps than on the web.
