Web apps seem more beneficial to the business than to the end user. Like who cares?

Web apps seem more beneficial to the business than to the end user. Like who cares?
- brulard 2y agoWhat do you mean? I can have an app that i use a lot in its separate window accessible by cmd+tab, without unnecessary toolbars on top, it's not hidden among tens of other browser tabs and windows i have open. Works offline. That seems quite useful to me.
- miramba 2y agoFor the first time ever, it is possible to build an app that runs on anything that can run webkit. I use the same app on iOS, Android, Windows, MacOS, Debian, even GrapheneOS. No AppStore, no account needed. I think it benefits or at least could benefit the end user a lot in the long term, but it hurts the walled/semiwalled gardens of MS, Apple and Google and their business. Which is why they seem so reluctant to support it better. How Firefox does not see this potential app freedom is beyond me.
- iszomer 2y agoWell, there was FirefoxOS then a fork of it called KaiOS..
- jampekka 2y agoHow so? Businesses and middlemen make a killing with non-web-apps.
