Stop making me download your fucking app just to look at something I should be able to see in a browser
@heygeorgie I really don't like smartphone applications that behave like HTML.
@kotaro as someone that's had to build it, i don't like when html is made to behave as an app @heygeorgie
@mensrea @heygeorgie There may indeed be such a situation.
I don't think that everything should be a web application either.
I would like to experience something dynamic and other than the purpose realized by Excel or IM, since it is implemented in a native application.
@mensrea @kotaro Yup I agree. And I think itโ€™s also the case that some websites are *perfectly fine* and I enjoy the experience, and the app doesnโ€™t offer additional features or benefits. So why would I use it?
@heygeorgie @mensrea @kotaro I hate to be forced to use apps too. Sometimes I'm in a hurry and just want to look at *one* single piece of info, without having to download an app. Sometimes I actually downloaded the app and think that the experience is worse. And sometimes I tried the app and discovered that, while the website is free, in the app I have to pay for almost everything (yes, Atlassian, I'm talking to you). I'm grateful for the "view desktop site" button, but this still annoys me
@sabrinaweb71 @heygeorgie @mensrea An app-based paywall, huh?
I would be too scared to go near it.
@kotaro @mensrea @heygeorgie sort of. I code as a hobby, so I use jira at a personal level, to keep track of what I want to write. In the website I can sort the issues as I like, with the oldest on top, because they will never be done if they stay at the bottom. In the app, even reordering the issues needs a module to be downloaded (and paid. *Monthly*.)
I use jira in the browser, with "show desktop site" on, but I still hate when it invites me to download the app instead
@sabrinaweb71 that's the business model, push everyone to subscriptions for everything @kotaro @heygeorgie
@mensrea @sabrinaweb71 @heygeorgie Jira. Isn't that exactly the kind of "project management application" that I personally don't see the point of implementing in a native app.
How is it any different from sharing a spreadsheet?
@kotaro @mensrea @heygeorgie I don't use it for project management, actually. I use it to keep track of features I would like to implement one day, I don't think I could add a long description on a spreadsheet
@sabrinaweb71 @kotaro generally called the "backlog" in industry
@mensrea @sabrinaweb71 Yes. Yes. In our country, we also have a project management software called "Backlog".
