Apps that offer to "do it all" will subject users to even more exploitation and surveillance, while large tech companies profit.

Never use an app for what should be a web site.

Except Lemmy. Then it's OK to use an app.

I don’t know if OP had this in mind. But a website and webapp are different. The whole UX ruleset we follow for both are different from the ground up (websites have big buttons, webapps have compact buttons)

If it should’ve been a website, there’s no need for a webapp or native app.

If it should’ve been a webapp, a native app makes sense too

Not the definitions and no a native app is not remotely as sensible as the browser sandbox.

nope. PS, kbin.social
and web apps are contained in the browser sandbox.
