I agree. It’s way more sus to download an app. The reason social media sites push apps over websites is because they can harvest a lot more data that way.
But then they couldn’t scrape maximum personal data, collect your contacts, have access to your mic and camera, and track your every physical movement. Your so selfish!
Its like when restaurants want to get people to order via a QR code on the physical menu and place your order on their website or app.
Like no. You are making this so much more awkward than it needs to be for the sake of novelty.
Restaurant near me tried to implement this during Covid. At the time I get it because people were trying to minimize risk and might have been worried about being around a waiter and getting infected etc.
But they still haven’t stopped it though. The worse thing is that the signal there is terrible so it takes 5 minutes for the damn thing to load in the first place.
I agree. Same with every business doesn’t need a freaking app. It’s why I’ve avoided the app development sector of programming in my career. I don’t want to crank out shitty apps for every local business for the rest of my life. talk about boring.
I rather have an app and a way to control the chicken coop offline that depend on the internet connection to whether my chicken coop works or not. That is in my opinion a right place for an app instead of a website.
Yeah my work just switched payroll companies and they want us to download an app to do timesheets and stuff. No way in hell that’s going on my phone. A least it works in desktop browsers too.
