It's been 13 years of "no, you can't do in the phone's webbrowser the thing you can do in a PC's webbrowser, you need to install a fucking app". People just accepted it. The fuckers accepted it. (hexbear.net)

Tbf as a mobile and web dev, it's hard to compare native or js apps to mobile website / progressive web apps. It's way easier to do stuff from a mobile app and the user experience can be better. Just don't abuse and exploit being installed on a device to destroy privacy any more (we see you)

Worst thing on mobile app though is versioning

If I can do a thing in my PC web browser, I demand to be able to do it in my phone web browser.

If you tell me I can't, but if I switch the "see as desktop" option and I do can, I'm gonna find you and kill you with a rock.

Last warning.

Yes I totally agree with you on that (minus you have to let some time to bring features to mobile version if it's still under development). I was just saying for certain things it's easier to implement in a web app.
