JewKiller 3000 posted:are there though? ones that work on windows and mac and nerd linux and anroid linux and also/especially ios? with consistency across platforms that beats the web garbage? please please do tell again: rotor posted:the only reason to do it is if you absolutely, positively must have a web AND a desktop app and you need to do the desktop one as cheaply as humanly possible. feel free to wedge 'mobile" in there wherever you see fit. And I don't care about consistency. And if web apps have shown us anything at all, it's that customers don't either. They just want a nice UI that performs well and doesn't crap its pants all the time.

The choices are, obviously, always about money. But don't give me this "hire 20 devs" bullshit because lmao.

ok fine maybe i'm exaggerating. sure, a company could do what you said. but why, though? if you're going to make a "lovely loving app" for desktop and a "bullshit webview client" for mobile, and you've already fully accepted that it's all gonna suck, why not let some hungry college-junior interns translate the designer's .psd into the latest trendy javascript nonsense? they get paid barely anything, you get a solution that "works everywhere", and your recruiting benefits from mentioning how you work with those frameworks that the kids like!

COACHS SPORT BAR posted:vs code deserves some praise for drinking sublimetext's milkshake and doing it for free, but lol it's a text editor that takes multiple seconds to start up on very fast hardware I've been fooling around with an 8MB Mac IIfx running System 6 and it's once again amazing to be reminded just what could be done on a system leaner than those that are in the average remote control these days the OS fit on 2-4 high density floppies, depending on whether you count the Network Software Installer (to install the Ethernet card driver) and MacTCP (for modern connectivity) Macintosh Common Lisp was another 2-3 floppies, depending if I wanted sources for most of it, and includes a fully programmable Zmacs-like editor that responds instantly when run on a 40 MHz 68030, and isn't unusably slow on an 8 MHz 68000 what I'm trying to say is that running everything atop web technologies is insanely bad because it leads to software that's worse than what we had nearly 30 years ago

AppKit and UIKit are sufficiently similar that you can very easily develop native applications that run on the only desktop and mobile platforms that matter
