Threadless is shutting their iOS app down next week

Yeah, no more working offline or in places with poor internet connectivity. Instead of small efficient applications we run multiple instances of web browsers, each instance consuming at least 1-2 Gb of RAM (even just to show text chat, like Slack), and they constantly do something even when they are not used. My CPU indicator is always at 5-10% CPU load even when I'm not doing anything, because all these apps are constantly downloading something or doing some mysterious background work that I don't need. My notebook cooler is almost always spinning.

Thanks, that's a great future!

This comment is so off the mark for this context.

1) Responsive site == a site you visit in your native browser, no one is talking about Electron or similar technologies. ecomm/retailers would never use that.

2) Electron is missing the point...why even use native at all of you're a retailer when you can have a website that does both?

HN...always missing the point and going off on some off topic rant.
