Apps that offer to “do it all” will subject users to even more exploitation and surveillance, while large tech companies profit.

      Except Lemmy. Then it’s OK to use an app.

        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

      There are almost no websites now, all are JavaScript apps build on top of assumption that everyone is using same 3-4 browsers.
