    Why the fuck did your dumb ass install a fucking app for a website you can easily navigate and access?

      Is that actually their app? It looks like a poorly designed PWA.

        Every time you see “try it in our app!”

        a poor developers soul was sacrificed to make a PWA.

          They’re not too hard to make. The service worker is most of the effort imo.

          Most frameworks it’s relatively free

            I let you in on a secret… I actually think they’re really neat, just really not useful for the applications most prevalent (news sites, etc. where you likely want to be online anyway)… but that’s got me thinking a wiki PWA would be sweet to cache articles… and that is all I can think of lol

              they can still help improve perceived startup time by caching layout, CSS, and some static pages.

        Websites can never request this data.

          in case you aren’t joking: Progressive Web App. Something apple doesn’t like much now
