As a hypothetical user who doesn’t post on niche tech forums, I totally prefer a native app over a web app

It’s pretty

It’s fast

It’s not stuttery-stoppy

I can swipe back and forth between pages without waiting 4 seconds for everything to display, and then inevitably move around right before I fucking tap

It’s on the app store

I can use it instantly.

I can remove it instantly.

I don’t know what sandboxing is

I don’t care about privacy

There are convenient share buttons

I can use it on the single device I use regularly

I can screenshot it

I can unfortunately change the style by updating

It can use my battery when it’s closed? Wait wha-

ooh notification

...

I’m gonna go use facebook now like a normal person, later nerds
