Name one good technical reason by Twitter needs to be an app and not just a mobile website.
Why are people so stupidly adamant that everything they use on their phone be an app? And because people demand an app, companies neglect their mobile sites in favor of developing their app (and because companies want the ability to track and spam you easier that an app provides versus a website).
I would guess there is large overlap between people who don't really understand what an app is and the people saying "you must protect me from the bad words". Normies destroyed the web. But they aren't going away and I don't know if driving them all off to another platform is what Musk wants.
I agree that there is a large overlap, but only because it is an incredibly small minority of people that have noticed what I'm talking about. I don't think it's one political side specifically; everyone is guilty of perpetuating this shit.
Although, some of the only non-technical people who have seen the light are people who used Gab (or this site) and were forced to try the "Add to Homescreen" option from their browser to get an app-like, fullscreen experience from nothing more than a mobile website.
lol, I'm pretty sure an official Twitter PWA could be spun up in like a week. It would be an improvement.
True but there's something to be said for store app convenience, especially having your app deployed on the default ROMs on millions of phones.
I am so fucking sick of "app culture."
