Unironically this. There's nothing these stupid apps do that they couldn't do on a fucking browser from 2018. If you want people to use the stupid app over the site, then please have only the stupid app and ditch the "just pretending it works" site and for fuck's sake, don't make the stupid app a javascript mess, because THAT could've been a fucking site instead.

Buddy, these apps could have been done in php and ajax 15 years ago

[-] ICastFist@programming.dev 4 points 3 months ago

I know. It grinds my gears how sites of 15+ years ago worked better and loaded faster than the shit we have today.

And the web versions have and constant lightbox that asks you to download the app every fuckin breath you take. Instagram and Twitter being the worst of them all. For the second I don't even touch it. For.instagram I got barnista. And that's cause my wife uses Instagram sometimes .

The secret is that tons of apps are just web browsers in a costume.

Nice, talk about nostalgia

I love how the Concentration game has a (144k download) warning. At average 32k dial up speeds, you'd have to wait roughly 2 minutes for it to fully download.
