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.

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

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

Not the definitions and no a native app is not remotely as sensible as the browser sandbox.
