Building all of our new mobile apps using React Native

I m a web fanatic and use only the browser. My other apps are dropbox and skype , a decibel meter and strava, so things that cant exist on the web anyway. I use multiple gmail accounts so webmail is better

Since most content apps use browser links at some point it doesn’t even make sense to e.g. have a twitter app

Now, i wish we could have a better api than web push notifications though

I'm kind of done with notifications on my phone. Plenty of apps turn approving legitimate notifications into an excuse to push ads or attempts at engagement through os notifications. The most recent offender on my phone was the moovit app, that sent something inane with emojis in the notification. deleted.

I don't even have email notifications anymore. Just texts and calls from contacts. Notifications just serve to divert your attention from the task at hand. If I want to sit down and be distracted by reddit or whatever, it will be on my own time by my own choice damnit.
