mobile dev is harder than it should be

Because I've spent the last 2.5 months arguing with Apple to even get a developer account set up for White Noise, AND I STILL DON'T HAVE ONE. The rest of my time over the last month has been debugging arcane strangeness in Android. For the most part, building on mobile sucks. And most people don'...

You probably know that in Brazil it's likely even higher.

Irony !!

do people download app? I go straight to the browser.

A better question is why are 90% of users using something compromised from the beginning...

I think developers have an unconscious bias, thinking that normal people use laptops/desktops a lot, because they do. This isn't real for most people. Plenty of people just use mobile devices exclusively, or near enough.

I doubt 90% of developers are making web apps, but are 9x more making web apps than mobile apps? Conceivably https://survey.stackoverflow.co/2024/developer-profile/#4-developer-type though that might hinge on whether "full stack" is understood to be _web_ front+back end (full stack: 30.7%, mobile: 3...
