We're looping around into our own assholes.

But what if we made offline stored webapps integrated with cloud?!

no TempleOS is the future

We get Charizard in the future guys!

Good.

Less retarded "muh apps" for everything

>>58960540
terrible. even worse than chrome custom tabs which are already terrible. FUCK YOU FLOENS.

>>58960540
These have gained zero traction since coming out.

Apps are basically dead.

>>58960540
To some degree this is what smartphones should have done to start with, webapps would have been "fine" for most applications.

But look at the fucking mess we got right now, most websites don't work well in mobile devices even when you request the full page, the web design of today is just miserable even for a laptop to which it was designed to be used, developers expect the user to have massive resources to load a simple web page that has design elements that get in the way of the content you're trying to deliver.

Uh, this isn't the future. Stop misleading people.

what about those of us who aren't autistic?

The first iphone did literally the same thing before applel made the app store.

>>58964369
Using an app without first downloading the app from the store.

It's just a fullscreen website that is partially downloaded to the phone

>>58964544
kek, i remember that old useless shit. good times.

so a service worker is a botnet that checks for updates when you're not using your phone and downloads them?
