  • Are you going to ignore the rest of what I wrote? lol

    Have you ever used “RIF is fun” for reddit? It is amazing, lots of tiny UI optimizations make it a pleasure to consume content much faster than scrolling up and down reddit’s UI for both links and comments

    The app just feels better/faster. Think of this way: a webapp = browser + pwa. You have all of the resource requirements of the browser itself, plus whatever it needs to render the html/css of the webapp. many webapps are just written so poorly (like the new reddit page) that the browser struggles to do simple things like smooth scrolling).

    If none of this matters to you and a webapp feels ok to you, that’s great! use what you want! I’m happy for you

    But you came in here asking why people prefer native apps and we gave you an answer, you don’t have to be antagonistic
