A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.

Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

I always see posts asking for the "best apps", so I thought it might be fun to flip the script. I originally thought this would be mobile-focused, but honestly I do the same thing on desktop.

I'd also be interested in any tools/techniques that help you achieve this. PWAs, scripts, mobile, desktop, whatever.

A lot of things where the "app" is just a bloated Electron wrapper. The web version, if offered, is almost always better even if it lacks a few features.

The ones that are the most entertaining are the ones where the web content packaged in the app is just a mirror of their website.
