What happens if someone is using a phone but wants a real site rather than having to install permission-happy bloatware as so many sites' apps are?
- mikejarema 13y agoI think they've built some tech that attempts to open a deep link into the native app, but if that fails (for example, if you don't have the app installed) it falls back to opening the site in your browser.
- jerluc 13y ago@mikejarema, this is basically what we are doing; if a user doesn't like an app, then they won't have it installed, and it will simply fallback to the website URL in the browser. [full disclosure, I'm an engineer at URX]
