konsti rants, the modern web is a joke
its wild how many apps do this - facebook, instagram, tiktok, pinterest, reddit. i guess add onedrive to that list lmao
between this and all the newsletter/notification popups on websites i gotta wonder what kind of kick in the head all of these project leads gotta be on to force their devs to add this shit

@dogo There's one reason they all do this. Getting more profit off your data.
It's much harder to adblock an app. And an app gets way more access to your device than a browser sandbox.

@fennecbyte @dogo there's way more tracking possible, too

@dogo @fennecbyte there's still the majority of people who use Android, and the advantage of having your logo in someone's app drawer / on someone's homescreen

@noiob @fennecbyte although, if with this move web apps end up offering them more data than installed apps do... maybe? no idea

@dogo @fennecbyte iOS webapp support is kind of a joke, they don't even have notifications
re: konsti rants, the modern web is a joke
@noiob @fennecbyte honestly good
re: konsti rants, the modern web is a joke
@noiob @fennecbyte yeah for sure, and i doubt theyd implement a useragent check for ios to just let u use the web app without hassle bc of the change
