#22can someone tell me what the difference is to the webclient? Seems like a webview to me. No local caching/store.
Kids these days insist that they need the "app" of something, even when it's literally the exact same thing as the webpage.

Dinosaurs these days insist that there's only one way to do things, even when most apps are literally designed to accommodate different workflows.

It's disappointing that these companies are perfectly happy to use it for their own wealth creation strategy, but have no interest in giving back and furthering the ecosystem.
