The apps vs. standards landscape changes when a personal UMA AS becomes as accessible to consumers as a smartphone. What’s good for the goose is good for the gander - in that web apps will run even better on a personal AS that also loads apps.


I can imagine my smartphone with three kinds of apps:


The third option has all of the benefits of the native app and the web apps with none of the downsides. A hybrid native app + personal web app running on a HealthKit-style platform (“Apple will not see your data.” is a very simple privacy policy.) and on my personal AS would be just as easy to install and use as any of the alternatives that leak “behavioral surplus” to either Apple or Google.

It's not surprising that for space reasons they focused on a limited set of issues, but agree that it's a really good article nonetheless. It seems there's a web-native/app-native swing every few years, for all the reasons they state. I guess I'm a little surprised that the swing is still as robust as it is -- the web as such hasn't been entirely killed off yet?? :-)

It's fascinating to see how this well-done article completely ignores the privacy perspective.

Happy New Year
