&gt; <i>This mindset is precisely why native mobile applications continue to exist on the market</i><p>And long live them because there is little about the mobile experience that&#x27;s more infuriating than a web app that should have been made as native. The assumption of being always on-line is baked too deep into the web stack; I have yet to see a well-made web app that could not be made significantly better UX-wise by simply going native.
