       @alcinnz I agree with most of the thread, but I think it’s a really good thing that a website can do most of what a desktop app can! There’s a far lower barrier of entry to making a website than to making a native app, and I don’t want to have to download a native app to buy something from an online store or join a social media platform.Even mastodon is built primarily on the web, and it relies on the ability to execute (some) code in the browser to work!

       @iron_bug @alcinnz most businesses with a website aren’t in the business of having a website. I don’t care about the quality of their website, I care about the quality of their service (which ISNT the website).Sure, a restaurant website or a website for a dentist might be crappy, but it’s much better than not having a website at all. It’s *good* that I can see phone numbers, menus, hours, and information.

       @iron_bug @alcinnz programming is a profession, yes. But many small businesses and organizations *do not have it in their budget to higher a programmer*. Nor should they need to. We cannot impose our professional standards on other fields. It’s like saying “everyone should be required to hire a graphic designer when making a poster”. No, that’s absurd!

       @iron_bug @alcinnz I personally prefer a web where anyone can make a website to one where you have to hire a firm to make it for you.Most websites need not be perfect. People cook for themselves, people clean for themselves, and people can make websites for themselves.Besides: most people trying to make a website will either:- end up with a static site, with no security risks, OR- use a firm like SquareSpace (in which case the onus is on SquareSpace)

       @fatboy I’ve been really happy with BitWarden! It has good cross platform support and it integrates on my phone to automatically fill in passwords there! I like how flexible it is and how much control I have, and I like that I can add custom fields for things like API tokens or recovery questions
