I'm looking for inspiration. Can anyone point me toward web applications with a great experience on mobile. When I say web applications, I mean interactive tools delivered via a web browser. I don’t mean marketing sites or games.
Nearly a decade ago, @adactio said “If the goal of the web is just to compete with native, then we’ve set the bar way too low.” Has anyone met this challenge?
Boosts appreciated.

Thanks to everyone boosting this. No replies yet. Here is my own contribution: - GitHub - Stripe I think both are highly usable on mobile, but maybe not quite reaching the target of greatness. A friend also mentioned LinkedIn, and said that scroll performance on the mobile website is better than the mobile app. I’m not going to try the mobile app, but LinkedIn does seem to be pretty usable on mobile. I’m beginning to think that those examples might be more or less as good as it gets.

@nick@sloan.host @adactio@mastodon.social Apple Music Mastodon Instagram But I haven’t seen a single one that can compete with its native counterpart.
