Preach your truth, brother!

I won’t use your web app. The app version has better performance, lower memory usage, is more idiomatic and looks better.

We should blame Apple for creating incentives that let it take a 30% cut from apps. I don't know why governments, especially foreign governments, allow Apple app store to operate in their countries.

I fully agree. A web based UI is superior in every way.

This also means you don't have to be running this week's android version to use it, with all the increased surveillance consequences that implies.

But, as the article states, people who are actually paying attention are a small minority and an acceptable collateral damage to user numbers.

gmail on mobile is particularly insidious in this context.

The smartphone and it's consequences have been a disaster for the human race.

I think app stores are getting restrictive and their next attack would be on PWA because that's one loophole in their walled garden where they need to extract 30% cut. Only a matter of time.

As for me, I would be mostly relying on PWAs.

Being a smaller company, try pushing an app to production on Android. Good luck with that.

To be perfectly honest, modern phone apps are so riddled with spyware that it would be unthinkable for a similar situation to have started on PCs.

Preach brother
