This was actually Steve Jobs original idea for the iPhone. Instead of native apps everything would be a web app.

I’m torn because I do hate responsive design to the max. But I also hate how the web has evolved into a pseudo os with everything in JavaScript. Don’t get me started on electron.

I like the native app approach so I can actually use the is as intended it many apps these days are just a wrapper for the webapp anyway

The Bank of America app on my iPhone is a 400MB behemoth designed just to slowly load a bunch of webviews. Also, at one point not long ago the Square/Block Cash App was around 700MB for some reason, but they have managed to bring it down to a trim 318MB.

These apps suck so much.

Uber Eats on my Android is 280MB for some reason.

Strangely, my largest app is Samsung SmartThings at 822MB. Maybe they include every driver for every possible device or something.
