Yeah, it sucks because you can do really cool stuff with web apps these days but no, instead I need 140 native apps for basically every mobile service because their mobile websites are abhorrently designed and basically only exist to point you towards the app.

[–] Holzkohlen@feddit.de 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Oh, don't worry. All those "native" apps are just using chrome webview to display some webapp.

Oh, I'm fully aware. That's honestly the kicker, they could host those apps on the web and have me be able to access everything through my browser, but no, instead I have to install their stupid apps just so they can harvest my data.

Sounds about right. Their site is bad, the app is bad.. pure profit driven.

Ugh for the longest time the investment firm I use had one product locked away on their app. Thankfully I checked today and I can sign up and use it on the web!

Try Sink It for Reddit, it’s a Safari extension that removes those nuisances

Do you really want to use the website, if you really need an extension because of that bullshit?

We are using the better version right now to discuss ways to [not] shoehorn the worse version back into our lives, lol.

Some communities just aren’t here yet, but it’s nice to see that Lemmy is growing fast

Using sh.itjust.works with the compact is actually nice on desktop.
