Apps that offer to “do it all” will subject users to even more exploitation and surveillance, while large tech companies profit.
A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

Never use an app for what should be a web site.
Except Lemmy. Then it’s OK to use an app.
nope. PS, kbin.social
and web apps are contained in the browser sandbox.
I don’t know if OP had this in mind. But a website and webapp are different. The whole UX ruleset we follow for both are different from the ground up (websites have big buttons, webapps have compact buttons)
If it should’ve been a website, there’s no need for a webapp or native app.
If it should’ve been a webapp, a native app makes sense too
Not the definitions and no a native app is not remotely as sensible as the browser sandbox.
There are almost no websites now, all are JavaScript apps build on top of assumption that everyone is using same 3-4 browsers.
