I’m hoping that great AI means we get back to native apps and leave the web house of cards behind.

How will AI make the Apple app store approve your app? That's the bottleneck with Apple, not the development.

Fuck no. Native apps are _invariably_ worse than well-designed webapps: no tabs, no bookmarks, no copy/paste, deep links are usually broken, no ability to open multiple apps side-by-side.

I don't think I know even a single exception outside the hardware-heavy games or AR/VR.

I'm hoping that more native apps get rewritten as web apps so they can stay in a browser sandbox where they belong. "Fortunately", we'll probably both get all the slop we "want".
