Thank you! I personally think that mobile web and app design has been one of the greatest atrocities in tech. Not only is it trash on mobile, it's spread and made lots of sites trash on desktop as well because people seek a one-size-fits-none solution. I personally go by the rule that if your service can work as a website, it should be a website. Not ever a standalone app unless there are important requirements which…
I love that your mom is a VIM users. That caught me off guard and I lol'd. My mom: not a vim user (or emacs for that matter)

Hi - yes I am soon. Just got side tracked with holidays etc. I'm also in the middle of trying to find a buyer for my other side business. Flippa produces a lot of interest, not sure how many are just tire kickers though.

80% of apps are uninstalled in the first 10min (especially if they ask for information or creating an account). Once uninstalled very unlikely they will ever install again. In my dev shop, I always advise clients to look into website MVP over apps unless IT IS CRITICAL to the functionality. Websites can always bring back ppl who were initially uninterested. Faster development/instant updates. Better tracking and UX a…
Could you point to research related to the 80% or similar stats? I am in an internal conversation regarding building an app vs a website and would love to have some ammo for my arguments. Consultant is trying to sell an app and to me that looks crazy given that a website could fulfill the same purpose without platform fragmentation, installation etc.

The real answer to this question? (Surprise!) It depends. I have worked on a side project for the last year or so that will have a website and a mobile application. It has social elements, so ultimately I decided to prioritize the mobile application, because that is where users have access to their contacts, and do most of their communication with their friends and family. There are, of course, other business ideas t…
>It depends. Sadly I think to often people are to focused on "apps" fail to make that consideration. Businesses seems focus on getting their little icon on the home screen of people phone, to keep them coming back to their service. News sites are especially to blame here. There are also some app that completely fail to recognise that there are people who need the service an app provides, but doesn't have a smartphone…
Yes you can live just fine without it but you're the exception not the rule.
