    This is partly corporate greed and partly a failure of the Web. A website should be all you need. You shouldn’t need a separate app for every little thing.

      It’s not a failure of the web, it’s a failure of corporations to accept their place as just a tab in my browser. It’s also easier to track users, exploit vulnerabilities, etc. from within a mobile app.

        Also, push notifications. Most things could be done from a browser, but corpos have to have their push notifications.

        It doesn’t matter if you’re the guy who turns every notification off and manages all those… 9/10 people won’t.
