Why are there so many apps that could be websites?
Seriously. I don't want to install something on my phone when the dev is just using a WebView, if that's what it's called. When the app is basically just a website with the browser hidden.
What's the reason for that? To attach the customer? To sell the app for money? Is there more ad revenue that way? Do you reach more people?
(Are there any good reasons for it, too? Security, maybe?)

Some people are missing the forest for the trees here
Having a businesses app on your phone is better regular advertising than anything they could ever pay for.
They just want an excuse to make you look at their logo and think about their business as regularly as possible
This is true
people tend to develop liking or disliking for things merely because they are familiar with them
and it's amazing that basic psychological principles have been decoupled from mainstream awareness of marketing tactics (obviously intentionally).
This is not a problem with the olauncher
Thanks I'm trying that
Lemmy has a real problem with this. It’s like all of the angry people from Reddit came here and now we just have an angry circlejerk about anything the crowd doesn’t like.
