these days are just a wrapper for the webapp anyway

The Bank of America app on my iPhone is a 400MB behemoth designed just to slowly load a bunch of webviews. Also, at one point not long ago the Square/Block Cash App was around 700MB for some reason, but they have managed to bring it down to a trim 318MB.

These apps suck so much.

It’s the worst of both worlds. Half the point of a webpage is it gets automatically updated every time you visit it!

It is cool that Apple is integrating PWAs to macOS more, which is the right approach. Web applications really should not use Electron.

Uber Eats on my Android is 280MB for some reason.

Strangely, my largest app is Samsung SmartThings at 822MB. Maybe they include every driver for every possible device or something.
