Dear developers: I don't want to use your app on my phone. I want a mobile web version, and you can do that. Thanks kindly.

@dangillmor In fact it’s often EASIER and FASTER to build a web application. They don’t WANT that, because there’s less opportunity to dig their tendrils into your phone’s operating system through the browser.

@dangillmor Peeve: "app" that's just an ugly, kludgy, awkward wrapper for a website ☹️ and no additional functionality ☹️

@dangillmor can't wait for a website that asks for permission to view your texts instead of ads

@dangillmor it's why i haven't checked my email on fb in a long time. they have made it so that you have to download messenger to read messages on a mobile. no thanks. nothing anyone has to say to me on fb is worth that. not by any stretch of the imagination. if i can't use their mobile site then i just won't use their website on my phone. period. i'm with you.

@zuul Use desktop mode. Requires a lot of zoom/pinch/etc but it does work.

@dangillmor@mastodon.social @zuul@pdx.social Or just stop using #Facebook altogether. It's an anti-user walled garden, there's plenty of free and open platforms that do respect the user, like the #Fediverse!

@dangillmor No. A native app has often better performance and uses less battery

@tyil @dangillmor i was off that facebook narcotic for years... however... in the past several years... pretty much every car related event... be it car shows or cruises or cars and coffee meet ups... pretty much everyone uses facebook now for such events. at some point ppl figured out it was cheaper and easier than maintaining their own web site for a once a year event. so in my case its a necessary evil. sadly.

@dangillmor the worst part, most of those mobile apps, are just using Electron or Chromium to display, what is functionally, a website lol.
