Yes please! That means it's portable and not tied into google/apple!Ī native app has every opportunity a webapp has to track you and much more. > identification tied to web technologies
#Stolen realm discord download
Not sure what is different here from native apps? Both can auto-update, both can download assets at-will, right?
Hell, amazon even made their real time game streaming service a webapp. Most chat, mail, news, or any other form of text/image/video app could easily be performant enough as a webapp.
They suck because the people who made them made them suck. The reason webapps are usually slow is not that the platform is slow, it's that companies copy websites that are stuffed with tracking (if you block that they tend to be much quicker). Web browsers also have a well defined interface for you to inspect the data saved locally if you want.įor the majority of apps this does not matter. Tying storage to a single vendor (like icloud or google drive) is a very, very bad idea. Great! Data storage on the client should either be treated as unreliable or the only storage (for stuff where there is no "cloud" or privacy is critical). Do you think that apps on average have less tracking or just that you tend to pay for apps but not for webapps and therefore get higher quality apps? On the spotify web player I can choose to block calls to recaptcha, facebook and similar with umatrix. This summer many apps (including stuff like spotify) would not even start on iOS because the facebook SDK crashed. I just want to be able to consume a service from a platform that clearly have the technical capabilities to do so, but no, it has to be a "app".Īnd a lot easier to chose/disable them. There are many apps that only work on iOS/Android that I want to run on my desktop or a more pure linux phone. That actually work on the platforms I choose. > Websites are simply apps installed in the browser without asking for permission The easiest way to do this is to allow it to be bound to a user's Google account, Microsoft account, and Apple ID. TLDR The most intuitive thing is working out of the box and seamlessly transferring to a new device. Hell I have been almost burned by this in the past when I moved phones and a certain app(FGO)'s data didn't transfer over. This isn't a dig at tech illiterate people but it is just how things are for the normal person. To the layman, the intuitive perspective is that it "just works" and is exactly how they left it previously, regardless of whether they have wiped their phone or replaced it. This is especially pronounced now that application sync between devices is more or less universal on iOS and (to a lesser extent) Android. They installed the app so where did their data go? Either they just assume that their phone number is their "account" or in some cases make no distinction between the app and their account. So you'd assume this but older members of my family regular seem to not understand this. By adding stupid landing pages, sign up flows, analytics (which then requires me to get permission from my users), and whatnot the site probably wouldn't have gotten off the ground half as fast. This was especially helpful in the beginning, because the first few people who stumbled upon the site immediately became users and started interacting with each other. A new user needs to perform 0 clicks to begin using the product. They get a randomly assigned name which they can change later if they want. I've been doing a similar thing to discord on a site I run where users don't even have to choose a name. This might look particularly weird to some of the HN community who are fond of optimizing the conversion rate of their pointless landing page -> sign up flow and like to subscribe people to mailing lists that 97% of their users will find fucking annoying. Put in an username and you're good to go. No pointless e-mail requirement, not even a password, no nothing. This is kind of missing an elephant in the room.īecause even creating an account on discord after clicking a "join server" link only requires you to put in an username. Joining a server (once you have an account) is two clicks. Inviting people is two clicks and a paste.
