    For mobile

    I initially thought this was an argument for electron/PWA bullshit. “Why is <app> eating 2GB of RAM and has no locally loaded content?”

    When companies are pushing apps as hard as they usually are, I assume there’s a benefit to them and not to me.

      For any platform, really, it’s just that mobile suffers from the “everything must be an app” problem the worst. Luckily, fast food hasn’t gotten bold enough to ask you to install a desktop app when opening their website.

      99% of apps can just be websites, and probably 80%+ of them are just PWAs in a wrapper that can be published on an app store.

        A lot of fast food places offer coupons only in the app.

        I used to go in to pick up the coupon books or they’d get sent to my mailbox.
