@danirabbit@mastodon.online You may be old as fuck, but I am older. And normally, I hold that opinion.
Under certain circumstances, a web app gives a consistent experience across IOS, Android, MacOS, Linux, Windows, FreeBSD.
I recently wrote an app to listen to P25 public service communication…for 40 users. Please don’t make me write an iteration of my app for six operating systems.

@zentec@infosec.exchange This was true in the old days of iPhone OS, where the only customisation a developer could do for their trade dress was the colour of the the background. Nowadays, Apps and WebApps APIs allow so much customisation that they are hardly recognisable as a native “app” any more. I’m with @danirabbit@mastodon.online that we need more WebSites that can be accessed from a variety of screen sizes and interface paradigms than WebApps. Everyone benefits from well designed websites.
