Dan GillmorDear 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.
Moffin'tosh@dangillmor No. A native app has often better performance and uses less battery

More often than not when I have to use a proprietary app, it is only for one specific circumstance, or at most like once per week, in which case I give exactly 0 fsck's about performance. Whatever app isolation mechanism you have natively on your device is never going to match what we have on the web even after all of these years of expanding capabilities. Especially nowadays even Android permits native apps to attest the "integrity" of the OS, which prevents the use of them on modified systems anyway. When I have to use a proprietary application on my phone, I would take a mobile web version any day over the native version filled with privacy-intrusive SDKs.
