What's this ad hominem crap? The guy can't have an opinion on this because he's an MBA and "generally [can't] grasp the complexity of software"?
There are a ton of mobile apps out there that don't have any desktop analog and this guy is suggesting that's a poor strategy, just like having a desktop website with no mobile interface is a poor strategy. And what the heck does any of this have to do with whether or not you use native code?
It's a fallacy to state that software needs to be "100% quality made". What does that even mean? Bug free? Sure. Super pretty? Maybe? Native over web? Now come on...
> No one really has "ONLY" mobile
Path, Snapchat, Color, Flipboard, Pair, Yardsale, Rumgr, etc. All apps with little or no desktop web counterpart. The last two have to do with selling and require a large network effect, and yet they are both only available on mobile, and even worse, only on iOS; a perfect example of how a narrow "mobile only (ios first)" strategy can detract from your product.
