I believe customization isn't as highly valued by regular people. Just look at your friends' phones and how they haven't usually done anything to customize their experience. If enough people were hitting that wall in that Saa

Sure. But Jobs was talking about running 'web apps' on iPhone OS as a software distribution channel, pre App Store, 2007-2008.

Reddit, Twitter/X, Facebook, Instagram, sure. All examples of first party social media clients. A minority of native app developers, I'm willing to bet.

Possible reasons: - No waiting for a page to load - Home screen access (most don't know about bookmarking web apps) - Discovery (where do you go to find PWAs?) - Features (native apps have access to more platform APIs) - Absence of bro

Ad supported apps are not necessarily from ad companies. The point I'm trying to make that these ever-prevalent 'they just want' remarks are superficial, uninformed, overly broad, and vague, to the point of having no point.

by jorisw 3mo ago
The App Store took off because of the distribution channel it offers for developers (including being able to charge for the work) and the place of discovery it offers to users.

What access? Like the OS native APIs that offer the very utility for these apps to even exist? Integration with OS features is what made the app ecosystem, because of utility. Project whatever conspiracy on that you want.

Nice and vague. Hard to dispute. Simple fact is that people love to project evil incentives onto entities they don't even bother defining. Not every native app developer is a 'massive company' with a 'vested interest&#

Ad companies now. Just one sentence earlier you said it's people 'delivering their payload'.

YouTube obfuscates the native video by removing the controls. Vinegar is a Safari extension that fixes that on iOS and macOS. May exist for other browsers as well.

Sure. They. They want. You know who they are, and what they want.

OCR is not the same as turning unstructured data (the freeform text OCRed from the PDF) into structured data.

Thanks. Did a quick check on Amsterdam: https://gbfs-validator.mobilitydata.org/visualization?url=ht... This also exceeds the supposed 600 max per service provider. That said I'm not sure I'd have time to maintain

Funny, when I lent out my house I also covered it in PostIts. When looking at a SaaS idea I always ask myself, "will this add enough value to compete with generic and free tool X?" If your app is just pictures and text based (with

From the docs, looks like you can't use third party apps with this, meaning WhatsApp, Signal, etc can't work. With pre-existing use of those apps, that's kind of a deal breaker for elderly, who I was hoping to use this for.
