A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

Honestly I'm tired of every website trying to annoy or force me to download an app. Mobile web design is perfectly capable of doing the vast majority of the functionality you get with an app. It's all about gaining greater access to your device's functionality and data.
If someone told me you'd be expected to install a separate piece of software on your device for each website you frequently visit back in 2010 I'd have said that sounds like a stupid idea and it'd never catch on.
