Indeed. Must also acknowledge that such tactics generate the seeds of opposition. i.e. hate begets hate and violence begets violence.

I'm not sure why you find the snark necessary. I wouldn't find it productive to talk to 200,000 users in person to determine if it's worth building a native app. I suspect most startups talk to some of their customers in pers

Both of you are conflating conspiracy with incentives. They have no incentive to promote a distribution model outside of the confines of the app store where they make all their money.

It's not a conspiracy that they once promoted PWAs as being the future and then reversed course so far as to removing the ability completely.

Definitely not a substitute, and a bit slow, but GPT computer use is demonstrating an alternative path with live vision models. I'd be curious how this is fairing for those with vision impairments.

Data from your own users is the most useful, but here's some published data. There's plenty more to be found and of course methodology, quality and intention varies. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/NBK61618

The analytics are very different when you have locality built in. You know exactly how many times your menu was scanned in house.. how long they spent on the page etc has much more meaning. An open website mixes traffic. I'm not promot

Unfortunately consumer preference surveys are all over the place. Most I've seen show they do prefer an app but data isn't exactly open. If you have this data feel free to share. I'm sure every industry is different. For my c

Consumers don't care. QR is easier for them and owners get analytics plus built in table identified ordering. I brought up the attack vector to a table full of developers back when this was taking off, just shrugs.

Have you ever tried communicating this to consumers of a web app? Our android customers get a nice little install popup or a push of a button.. it's pretty seamless. With TWA it's also trivial to put it on the play store.

I think the web did fine. People can't pin a web app because Apple made it difficult for them to do exactly that.

I wish everyone thought like this. Unfortunately the average user demands an app and thinks they have nothing to hide.

My naive intuition is that as harnesses converge on shape and models improve the first party advantage will mostly disappear.
